Ingredients

Hot Pocket Filling

  • 1 roll puff pastry (Jus-Rol or similar)

  • 1/2 lb ribeye steak, thinly sliced

  • 1/2 cup onion, minced

  • 1/2 cup green pepper, minced

  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish

  • 5 slices American cheese

  • 5 slices mozzarella cheese

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • Olive oil, for cooking

Garnish

 

  • 2 tbsp butter, melted

  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley

Instructions

Cook the Steak Filling

  1. In a pan over high heat, add olive oil and the thinly sliced ribeye.

  2. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. Cook halfway, then add minced onion and green pepper. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  4. Cook until the steak is tender and vegetables are slightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool.

Assemble the Hot Pockets

 

  1. Roll out the puff pastry and cut into 3-inch wide strips (should make 4-5 strips per roll).

  2. Layer one slice of American cheese, followed by steak mixture, then ½ slice of American cheese + ½ slice of mozzarella.

  3. Fold over the pastry, pressing the edges together.

  4. Use a fork to crimp the edges and seal.

  5. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and make 3 small cuts on top to allow air to escape.

  6. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Bake or Air Fry

Oven Instructions:
11. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
12. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Air Fryer Instructions:
13. Place in the air fryer tray or basket.
14. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
15. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and parsley.

Serve & Enjoy!

  1. Let cool slightly before serving—cheese will be hot and melty!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add sautéed mushrooms or a drizzle of cheese sauce inside.

  • Want a spicy kick? Add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.

 

  • Make ahead: Assemble and freeze unbaked hot pockets. Bake from frozen at 400°F for 18-20 minutes.
