Health and fertility benefits of Broccoli-Cheddar Homemade "Hot Pockets"

Broccoli is one of the non-starchy vegetables that has a very low glycemic index (GI), which is beneficial for reducing blood sugar levels. Broccoli is also a source of DIM (Diindolymethane). Diindolymethane is very effective in reducing the testosterone levels in the body, an action that would automatically curb male dominant features and regulate the estrogen levels in the system.

Ingredients

1 lb. store-bought or homemade pie crust
1 c. shredded Cheddar
2 c. cooked broccoli florets, chopped
1/2 lb. ham, chopped
1 large egg, beaten with 1 tbsp. water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a floured work surface, roll out pie dough into a rectangle and slice off rounded edges (if using store-bought). 2. Cut into four strips and top the bottom halves of each strip with cheddar, broccoli, and ham. 3. Fold over top half of strip and seal by pinching crust with your fingers. Use the twine of a fork to crimp. Brush with egg wash and transfer to prepared baking sheet. 4. Bake until golden and puffy, 18 to 20 minutes.
