Provided by Kim's Cooking Now

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Savory Pie Recipes     Meat Pie Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup marinara sauce, warmed
6 frozen fully cooked Italian meatballs, thawed and halved
1 (8 ounce) package crescent dough sheet (such as Pillsbury®)
6 tablespoons finely shredded Italian-style cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Remove crescent dough sheet from the can and place on a lightly floured surface. Shape the dough into a well defined rectangle and cut into 4 equal rectangles.

Tips to prepare Cheesy Broccoli Pockets:

- To achieve a crispy and golden brown pocket, ensure the dough is rolled out thinly and evenly. - For a more flavorful filling, sauté the broccoli with garlic and onions before adding it to the cheese mixture. - To prevent the pockets from bursting during baking, seal the edges of the dough properly before crimping them. - Place the pockets on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent them from sticking to the pan. - Bake the pockets until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly, approximately 15-20 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
