#Bacon egg and cheese hot pocket how to#
Read on for some tips for how to make hot pockets at home. I discovered that “pop and fresh” crescent dough sheets minimize efforts all you have to do is roll. The bread-like wrap somehow works with every ham and cheddar, bacon, egg, cheese, or copycat pizza combination. Take the handheld cheese-filled bundle, heat it up, and you have a complete meal in under 10 minutes. I found it the perfect accompaniment to a Dogfish India Pale Ale.Here’s the deal: Hot pockets are a delicious convenience. I thought the Wasabi & Soy was weird and unpleasant to the point of bitterness, whereas I loved the Jalapeno Smokehouse and thought it had just the right amount of heat. But we have exact opposite opinions of the Wasabi & Soy and Jalapeno Smokehouse. I agree with Bonnie that the Maui Onion & Garlic will appeal mainly to fans of those flavors, and that the Lime ‘n Chili is super-limey. Blue Diamond is shaking up that stodgy image with these adventurous new savory flavors. That’s why I’ve always thought of them as the conservative rich person’s snack. I highly recommend these.Ĭarolyn: I remember the containers of Blue Diamond smoked almonds that used to lie around the rich person’s apartment I cleaned when I was in college. Almonds are also high in monounsaturated fats (the good kind) and the antioxidant vitamin E. Research shows that eating an ounce (about a handful) of almonds a day and limiting foods high in saturated fats can lower your blood cholesterol. You would have to have been in a coma for the past few years not to know that almonds are good for your heart. I found their spiciness more odd than enjoyable. I didn’t enjoy the Jalapeno Smokehouse as much as the others. The Maui Onion & Garlic almonds are fine if those are flavors you like.
They’re closely followed by the Lime ‘n Chili, with that lime flavor pleasantly smacking you right in the kisser. The Wasabi & Soy Sauce have just the right fiery kick and are my favorite. So I just love these boldly spiced almonds from Blue Diamond. 99 cents per 1.5-ounce tube and $3.49 per 6-ounce can.īonnie: I love both spicy foods and almonds. Lime ‘n Chili, Wasabi & Soy Sauce, Maui Onion & Garlic, and Jalapeno Smokehouse. That variety was nowhere near as “hot” a product as the Hot Pocket Sausage Biscuit.īlue Diamond Bold Almonds. The bacon in the Bacon, Egg & Cheese appears as mere bits and isn’t crisp. Unlike Bonnie, I liked the biscuits’ filling, which is admittedly more of an egg-cheese-meat puree than a combination of those separate ingredients, especially in the one with sausage, which came in good-size chunks and had a tasty fennel flavoring. I recommend making these in the microwave rather than the oven, which takes 15 times longer and makes the biscuit crust inappropriately crisp. Last year it was Hot Pocket Subs and now, an equally credible run at biscuits.įresh out of the microwave, these smelled artificial but tasted great and (amazingly for a processed biscuit) not at all salty.
Recently the company has begun fashioning Hot Pockets from breads in the real world.
And it’s not even worth that.Ĭarolyn: For most of its years in the supermarket, the “pocket” of Hot Pockets was a laboratory-born, thin, hard, dry breadstuff unlike anything found in a successful bakery. That’s about a third of the recommended daily limit for saturated fat. One Hot Pocket Egg Biscuit will set you back 280 calories and 13 grams of fat, with 6 of those grams as saturated fat. Nutritionally, Hot Pockets Biscuits contain fewer calories and less fat than the slightly larger Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit from McDonald’s. I kept looking for, but never found, the “fluffy eggs” and “savory sausage” or “savory bacon” described on the package. I tested them both in the oven and in the crisping sleeve in the microwave.Īnd “tested” is the right word, because both were too artificial-tasting and filled with orange goo to actually eat. $2.69 per 9-ounce box of two individually wrapped frozen filled biscuits.īonnie: I occasionally enjoy eggs and bacon or sausage on an English muffin or biscuit, so I looked forward to testing these new Hot Pocket hearty-sized biscuits. Sausage, Egg & Cheese, and Bacon, Egg & Cheese.
