Ham and Cheese Pockets

Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray non-stick baking sheet with cooking spray.

Open refrigerated pizza crust and unroll onto baking sheet.  Using fingers, spread dough into larger rectangle about 14”x 10”.

Using a pizza cutter cut the dough in half and then make two equal cuts lengthwise to make six sections of dough. (see diagram above)

To each dough section, add a thin layer of honey mustard, approximately 1 teaspoon. When spreading the mustard, leave roughly 1 inch of the dough around the perimeter free of mustard. To the center of each section evenly divide the ham and cheese.

Take one of the short edges of a section and fold over to the other short edge and pinch to seal. Pinch the other two edges to seal the contents and make a pocket. Flip the pocket so that the pinched short edge is on the baking sheet. Do this for all six pockets.

Bake pockets until slightly brown, about 12-15 minutes. Pull pockets from oven and brush with melted butter. Garnish with a little shredded cheese and chopped parsley.  Bake for an additional minute.

While the pockets are baking prepare a salad and fresh fruit for a healthy meal! These pockets are a great on-the-go meal option. Wrap in foil to keep warm until you get to your destination.
