These 5-ingredient keto breakfast pockets are filled with ham and melty cheese. They're easy to prepare, nut-free, grain-free and egg-free and can be prepared in under 30 minutes.
Just like my Keto Spanakopita, this recipe is adapted from Keto Morning Hot Pockets which went viral over the social media. If you can eat nuts, you can follow the original recipe that is made with almond flour - you will only need 4 ingredients: shredded mozzarella, almond flour, ham and cheese - that's it!
