Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings 6
Baking Temp 425 F

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Pizza cutter

Ingredients

  • 1 tube refrigerated pizza crust, whole grain if available
  • 1 ounce diced ham
  • 2 tablespoons honey mustard
  • 1 cup shredded cheese, plus extra for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Chopped fresh parsley, optional

Instructions

  • 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.
  • 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.

Notes
