My family loves breakfast foods. While we more often have breakfast foods for lunch or dinner, it is always a guaranteed hit when eggs, sausage, and bacon are involved! We always have a steady supply of eggs because of our backyard chickens and I like to keep the freezer stocked with precooked sausage crumbles to make breakfast burritos or these new favorites – Air Fryer Breakfast Pockets.
These hand held breakfast pockets are great for kids and adults. They can be eaten on the go or together as a family. They can be stuffed with just about anything….bacon, sausage, eggs, cheese, bell peppers, potatoes, or you could even go the other direction and stuff with cream cheese and strawberry jam!
For the pocket itself, I used puff pastry sheets, but you can use refrigerated pie crust, too, or make your own crust. You can also cut any shapes you like, but I have found rectangles work the best!
I have this air fryer, but this recipe will work with any brand and version. Make sure to follow my Air Fryer board on Pinterest for more inspiration!
It all starts with puff pastry sheets. Cut them in rectangles and let the delicious breakfast making begin!
You can fill the breakfast pastries with just about anything. We love eggs and sausage or bacon, along with a sprinkling of cheese.
So easy, a child can do it!
Serve with a glass of orange juice and enjoy!

Quick Air Fryer Breakfast Pockets
Ingredients
- one box puff pastry sheets
- 5 eggs
- 1/2 cup sausage crumbles, cooked
- 1/2 cup bacon, cooked
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Cook eggs as regular scrambled eggs. Add meat to the egg mixture while you cook, if desired.
- Spread out puff pastry sheets on a cutting board and cut out rectangles with a cookie cutter or knife, making sure they are all uniform so they will fit nicely together.
- Spoon preferred egg, meat, and cheese combos onto half of the pastry rectangles.
- Place a pastry rectangle on top of the mixture and press edges together with a fork to seal.
- Spray with spray oil if you desired a shiny, smooth pastry, but it really is optional.
- Place breakfast pockets in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes at 370 degrees.
- Watch carefully and check every 2-3 minutes for desired done-ness.

January 2, 2018 at 2:18 amThese look really good. I would imagine with fresh eggs right from the hens they are terrific. I like how you used puff pastry. I dont use it much I think only once but really liked it.

January 6, 2018 at 3:49 pmI love my air fryer. I like the idea of bacon and waffles.
Stephanie says
February 26, 2018 at 12:59 pmDo you have thoughts on how to make these ahead and re-heat later throughout the week?
Gena says
February 28, 2018 at 8:44 amI have never tried this, but maybe you could make them in the air fryer according to directions, then freeze them, and then when you’re ready to eat one, just pop it in the air fryer again for a few minutes, or even the microwave or toaster oven. My husband warmed some up from the fridge in the microwave, but they weren’t crispy, of course.

March 6, 2018 at 4:57 pmCan these be frozen?
Gena says
March 12, 2018 at 2:12 pmI haven’t tried it, because they go so fast, but I think they would be fine. Just reheat in the air fryer!

Gena says
March 28, 2019 at 8:38 pmSorry, Renee, it is there now. My site was hacked yesterday so I’ve had to fix some things, but it should be fixed now! thanks!
Paige Williams says
June 30, 2019 at 6:25 pmDo you make these just 1-2 at a time in a single layer?
Gena says
June 30, 2019 at 7:58 pmYes, I do, because my air fryer is small. You could make more if you had a bigger air fryer. Thanks!
