Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 17.25 oz puff pastry ((1 package - 2 sheets))
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese ((about 6 ounces of grated cheese))
  • 1 large egg ((beaten))

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cook the bacon in a large frying pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5-6 minutes. Flip the bacon about halfway through the cooking time. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
  • On a very lightly floured working surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets. *Gently open the sheets, and use a dab of water to seal any cracks.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the pastry sheets into 4-6 squares. I am using the larger squares, so I only cut 4 sections per sheet.
  • Lay a slice of bacon over the center of each square diagonally then top with a sprinkle of the grated cheddar cheese.
  • Bring in two opposite corners, laying the first down then folding the other corner over the first. *You can use a dab of water to help seal the folded puff pastry corners. Pinching the corners together will also help to prevent the ends from separating during baking.
  • Coat the entire exposed surface of the puff pastry with the egg wash and then transfer them to your prepared baking sheet. Be sure to leave spacing between the pastries as they will expand.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 15-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden and the cheese is fully melted.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before serving.
