Ingredients

• Flour tortilla: This serves as the base for the pocket. I used Mission Carb Balance tortillas. You can use any type of tortilla you prefer.
• Eggs: I use a combination of whole eggs and liquid egg whites for the main source of protein for the pocket. You can scramble or fry the egg. 
• Shredded cheddar cheese: I used sharp cheddar cheese, which adds a cheesy flavor and texture to the pocket. You can use any type of cheese you prefer whether it is pepper jack, feta, or mozzarella.
• Bacon: This adds a smoky flavor and crunch to the pocket. You can use turkey bacon or omit it for a vegetarian option.
• Salt and pepper: These are basic seasonings to add flavor to your eggs.

How to Make Breakfast Toaster Pocket

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Heat a small, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the egg mixture to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and cooked through.
3. In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon to your preferred level. 
4. Lay the tortillas flat on a work surface. Sprinkle ¼ of the cheese on the tortilla. 
5. Lay 1 piece of bacon on top of the cheese, then spoon the scrambled eggs on the bacon, leaving about a 1/2 inch border around the edges of each tortilla.
6. Fold the sides of each tortilla towards the center, then fold the sides in towards the center, creating a pocket. Press down gently to flatten the tortilla. 
7. Place the tortilla pockets in a toaster and cook level 3 for 1-2, or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted.
8. Carefully remove the pockets from the toaster and allow them to cool for a minute or two before serving. Enjoy!

Swaps or Alternatives

Here are a few alternative swaps that you could make based on dietary needs and preferences:

• Gluten-free: Use a gluten-free tortilla or wrap instead of a regular one.
• Vegan: Omit the eggs and cheese and replace with tofu scramble and vegan cheese alternatives.
• Dairy-free: Replace the cheese with a dairy-free alternative such as vegan cheese or omit it entirely.

Quick Tip(s)

Quick tips for making Breakfast Toaster Pockets:

• Use medium or large tortillas: Using bigger tortillas will allow you to make bigger pockets with more filling. You can use any type of tortilla you prefer, such as flour or corn. Do not use street or taco size tortillas because they are too small for a toaster. 
• Don't overstuff: Be careful not to overstuff the pockets as this can cause the filling to spill out or the pockets to burst open. Use just enough filling to make a tasty breakfast pocket without overdoing it.
• Add cheese: Adding cheese to the filling will make the pockets even more delicious. You can use any type of cheese you prefer, such as cheddar or mozzarella.
• Customize the filling: Feel free to customize the filling to your liking. You can use bacon, sausage, ham, or any other breakfast meat. You can also add vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach.
