Sourdough Discard Breakfast Pockets: A Delicious Way to Use Up Leftover Starter

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon cold butter
  • 2 large eggs (plus 1 for egg wash)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup cooked bacon or sausage (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, combine the sourdough discard, flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat in 2 eggs until a dough forms.

3. Roll the dough out on a floured surface into rectangles. Place the cheese and bacon/sausage (if using) in the center of each rectangle. Fold the dough over to enclose the filling and seal the edges with a fork.

4. Beat the remaining egg with milk and brush over the tops of the pockets.

5. Place the pockets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown.

6. Let the pockets cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm and fresh from the oven!

Notes

To ensure your sourdough discard breakfast pockets turn out perfectly every time, keep these tips in mind:

While cheddar is a classic choice, you can experiment with other melty cheeses like Monterey Jack, Swiss, or provolone.

In addition to bacon or sausage, you can try fillings like ham, spinach, mushrooms, or even a savory breakfast sausage mixture.

Leftover pockets can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the oven or toaster oven until warm and crispy.

While these recipes focus on savory fillings, you can also create sweet versions by using fruit preserves, chocolate chips, or a cinnamon-sugar mixture.
