Tips
If you want to add some extra flavor to the filling, you can add some chopped jalapenos or red pepper flakes. You can also experiment with different types of meat and cheese to create your own unique hot pocket recipe. Serve hot pockets with your favorite dipping sauce.
Make sure to seal the edges of the hot pockets properly to prevent the filling from leaking out. You can also use a fork to make decorative marks on the edges of the hot pockets.
If you don't have puff pastry, you can use crescent roll dough instead. Just make sure to press the seams together before cutting into squares.
