My Ham and Cheese Pockets are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Need to take it on the go? Even better!

Ham and Cheese Pockets

I’m all about creating easy recipes that busy moms like myself can cook up without spending hours in the kitchen.

That’s why this is one of my all-time favorite busy nights or mornings recipes! And, with Smithfield® Anytime Favorites® Diced Ham, this recipe is tastier than ever!

If you’re a fan of hot pockets, then you are going to love making these homemade versions!

As much as I love creating new recipes, I also love our good classic weekly favorites. 

These ham and cheese pockets are the perfect comfort food that both kids and parents love. They have also become one of our weekly staples when I go grocery shopping at my local Publix.

I know exactly the ingredients I need, and the Smithfield Anytime Favorites Diced Ham makes prep time more relaxed. An easy win-win recipe that we all enjoy.

Easy Pocket Recipe

My family loves this pocket recipe for breakfast, too, especially since they freeze and re-heat so quickly.

They are perfect to either bake in the oven while my girls make their lunches for school or pop them in the microwave until warm.

I love them for our early mornings when my daughter has choir practice at school or when we are on our way to a school field trip. 

Here are a few ways you can enjoy these ham and cheese pockets with your Smithfield Anytime Favorites.

• Breakfast
• Quick Lunches
• School Lunches
• Weeknight Dinners
• Snacks on the go
• Appetizer for parties, football game watching, and holiday events

Ingredients Needed For Pockets

• Your favorite dough (crescent, pizza, dough disc, or make your own)
• Smithfield® Anytime Favorites® Diced Ham
• Cheddar cheese or your favorite cheese
• Melted butter

Not only are these pockets filled with yumminess easy to make, but you also don’t need that many ingredients.

Making it easy, affordable, and perfect for families.

Plus, you can easily add any ingredients you wanted with your Smithfield Anytime Favorites. My oldest daughter doesn’t like cheese so I make hers without it. 

How To Make Ham and Cheese Pockets

This is a great recipe for the entire family to make together. My girls love helping me in the kitchen and it’s a great way for us to spend quality time together.

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Lay your dough on a flat surface.
• Depending on your dough, you will need to use a pizza cutter to divide the dough. The crescent dough I used made four pockets.
• Add shredded cheese and diced ham to each dough pocket.
• Seal the edges by either folding them or using a fork to seal them.
• Once the pockets are ready, I like to brush a bit of melted butter right on top of the dough to give it a crispy golden texture.
• Bake for about 15-20 minutes.

Tip: You can easily bake these ham and cheese pockets or pop them in the air fryer. The choice is yours, either way, they turn out amazing.

I always pick up an extra packet of Smithfield Anytime Favorites Boneless Smoked Pork Chops. 

With a wide variety of cuts, such as diced, cubed or sliced ham, ham steaks, and boneless pork chops, Smithfield Anytime Favorites helps take the pressure off of cooking all week long.

They are perfect on the grill or when you need to whip up a nice dinner when family comes to visit.
