Ingredients
1 cup grated Gruyere cheese (about 3 ounces)
1 cup deli-sliced ham, chopped (about 4 ounces)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Vegetable oil, for brushing
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 (11-ounce) tube refrigerated French bread dough
1 large egg
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Mix the gruyere, ham, mustard, nutmeg and cayenne in a bowl until combined. Squeeze the mixture together with your hands to make it compact.
- Brush a baking sheet lightly with vegetable oil. On a floured surface, roll out the dough and fill the dinner pockets (see Cook's Note).
- Place the pockets seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Beat the egg and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl; brush the pockets with the egg wash. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Cook’s Note
How to Make Dinner Pockets: 1. Cut the dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-by-8-inch rectangle on a floured surface. 2. Put one-quarter of the filling in the center of each dough rectangle, pressing it together. 3. Fold the 2 shorter sides of the dough over the filling, stretching the dough to cover. 4. Fold in the 2 long sides of the dough like a burrito. Pinch the edges to seal.
