Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, transfer to a paper towel to drain excess fat. Let cool slightly, then crumble into small pieces.
Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, gently roll it out to smooth any creases.
Cut the pastry into 6 equal squares.
Distribute the crumbled bacon and grated cheddar cheese evenly onto one diagonal half of each pastry square, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over each pile of bacon and cheese for added flavor.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the milk to create an egg wash.
Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash.
Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling, forming a triangle. Press the edges with a fork to seal firmly.
Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the turnovers with the remaining egg wash for a golden finish.
Use a sharp knife to make a small slit on the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.
Allow the turnovers to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
