If a bacon, egg and cheese Hot Pocket is the Cadbury Egg of breakfast pastries, Nancy P's Cafe & Bakery's bacon, egg and cheese pocket is the Fabergé egg. On a recent morning in the bakery off Newport Avenue, owner Katy Clabough made mention of the skyrocketing price of eggs. Would all of Nancy P's breakfast pockets be eggless soon? No, assures Clabough, but eggflation is the reason the morsels now cost $11.50 when they were under $10 in late 2024. Nancy P's is not alone.
