These delicious Ham and Cheese Pockets are a yummy treat that will entice even your youngest and pickiest eaters! The great thing about these pockets are that they are healthier for you than store bought hot pockets and they are melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
If you happen to not have leftover Ham, you could certainly use sliced deli ham. We also used Swiss Cheese, because we like the combo of Ham and Swiss, but any cheese you like will work. Besides the ham and cheese all you need are a few simple ingredients.
These Ham and Cheese Pockets are wonderful by themselves as an after school snack or an appetizer. They are also a fantastic main dish when hosting a lunch for your friends and their kids. They are light and fluffy and the size makes them the perfect finger food for little hands.
Add in these Fruit Kabobs for Kids and you have a wonderfully balanced, not to mention colorful spread that will make both the kids AND moms happy.
To get started, open the tube of biscuits and separate each one. Use a cutting board and rolling pin to flatten each biscuit into a thin layer.
Note: if the biscuits become sticky, lightly flour the cutting board and rolling pin.
Lift the flattened biscuit off the surface to ensure it is not sticking and then add a spoonful of ham and cheese to the center of it.
Brush some egg white on one side of the biscuit; then fold the biscuit over and seal with a fork dipped in egg white, pressing the two pieces of the biscuit together firmly.
Lightly brush on some melted butter and sprinkle with oregano.
Lay the pockets on a sprayed cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for about 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let them cool for a few minutes and then serve with honey mustard or any dipping sauce of your choice. Easy peasy!
Each bite of these Ham and Cheese Pockets are filled with savory goodness.

This looks delicious! I hope you’ll visit me too 🙂 Have a lovely weekend 🙂
Yum! I’ll have to give them a try!
Come by when you get a chance!

Great idea for leftovers — or just because they sound really good! I like “flexible” recipes where you can use the ingredients you have on hand – no swiss cheese, use what you’ve got! I would love it if you would consider linking sometime to Busy Monday at A Pinch of Joy, a Sunday through Thursday link party for ideas that make life easier, better and more fun!
These are very yummy! i made them with the canned crescent sheet dough worked well. we like onion so i add shredded onion to a pan and heated up my ham and onions together, put it on my crescent dough added slice of cheese and cut in squares put egg around edges folded over then painted with butter cooked them until they were golden. fast and simple delicious. thanks for the recipe.
