Step 1: Warm Up The Oven
Crank your oven to a toasty 375F (190C). Grab a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper or give it a quick spray of cooking oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Whip Up Fluffy Eggs
Grab a mixing bowl and crack open your eggs. Pour in some milk, then sprinkle in salt and pepper. Whisk everything together until the mixture looks smooth and creamy.

Spoon a generous dollop of scrambled eggs right in the center of each dough circle. Sprinkle some cheese on top for a melty surprise.
Carefully fold the dough over the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges firmly to seal in all that yummy goodness.
Step 4: Bake To Golden Perfection
Arrange your filled pockets on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side facing down. Brush the tops with melted butter for a gorgeous golden shine.
Sprinkle garlic powder and everything bagel seasoning over the top for an extra flavor kick.
Slide the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Watch for that beautiful golden-brown color that signals they’re ready.
