Zucchini Ricotta Hot Pockets | A Childhood Favorite Re-Imagined With Fresh Flavors

*Zucchini Ricotta Hot Pockets* The convenience of a Hot Pocket with the quality of fresh ingredients—these puff pastry parcels are the perfect on-the-go snack or savory breakfast. It combines creamy ricotta cheese, sharp Parmesan, and melty mozzarella all in one bite to make an irresistible package with a lot more freshness than a frozen meal. Make it ahead of time and reheat when you’re in a pinch! ⏱️ Cook Time: 1 hr. 🔥 350°F _Ingredients:_ - 4 zucchini, sliced - 1¾ cups ricotta cheese - 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese - 1 cup fresh mozzarella - 1 egg - 2 sheets puff pastry - 2 egg yolks (for egg wash) - fresh basil, for garnish - olive oil, for brushing - salt & pepper, to taste *1. Prep the zucchini* Preheat the oven to 350°F. Slice the zucchinis lengthwise into about ¼-inch thick strips and lightly brush both sides with olive oil. Arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. *2. Make the filling* In a bowl, mix the ricotta, 1 egg, grated Parmesan, and black pepper until smooth. Lay 8 zucchini strips on a clean surface or cutting board in a plus (+) shape (2 in each direction), then spoon about ½ cup ricotta filling into the center. Add a few basil leaves and a piece of mozzarella in the middle. Fold each zucchini strip over the filling to form a neat parcel, tightly packing it into a sqaure. *3. Assemble & serve* Lay down the puff pastry sheets and brush the surface with egg yolk. Place the zucchini parcel in the middle of one strip and tightly wrap it in, then wrap it in the other strip to seal all four sides. Brush the outside with more egg wash and score the top lightly with a sharp knife. Bake at 350°F oven for about 45 minutes, until puffed and golden.
