Hot pockets are easy and tasty, but oh-so bad for you. Thankfully, you can make your own version in about a half hour! The recipe makes two sandwiches, but you can make a bigger batch and freeze. My favorite thing about these sammies is how easy it is to make your own dough - it’s just mozzarella cheese and cream cheese melted together, and then mixed with flax meal. Sandwiches will be good in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Cooking Note: To make things interesting, change up your fillings with sliced turkey instead of ham, different cheeses, sun-dried tomatoes, and so on.
Ingredients:
¾cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 tablespoons flax meal
3-ounces deli-sliced ham
3-ounces sharp cheddar cheese slices
1 tablespoon cream cheese
Small handful of fresh spinach leaves
Directions:
1.Preheat your oven to 400-degrees.
2.First, you’ll make the dough. Put shredded mozzarella and cream cheese for 30 seconds in the microwave.
3.Check to see how much it’s melted. Melt for another 30 seconds if necessary.
4.Stir in the flax meal to make the dough.
5.Put down a piece of parchment paper, and then plop on the dough. Layer another piece of parchment over it, and then roll out.
6.Put on cheese and ham slices, and spinach, and fold, squeezing the dough edges shut.
7.With a fork, poke a few holes in your sammie.
8.Stick in the oven on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper for 15 minutes.
9.If the dough is not yet golden and firm, bake for another 5 minutes.
10.When pocket sammie is done, cool a few minutes before cutting in half and eating!
11.If you have leftovers, the sammie will last in the fridge for 3 days.
