To assemble, gently flatten your biscuit or pastry rounds, spoon on the sausage & egg mixture, add a sprinkle of cheese, and then fold over and pinch the edges to seal each pocket. Brush the tops with a beaten egg for an extra glossy finish before baking. This straightforward process makes it easy to batch-prep pockets ahead for busy mornings.
