Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 6 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 piece Egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to thaw if frozen, and cut each sheet into 9 squares (approximately 3x3 inches each).
In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cheese and bacon mixture into the center of each puff pastry square.
Fold each square into a triangle by bringing two opposite corners together. Press the edges firmly to seal, and use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative finish.
Brush the tops of the puffs with the beaten egg to give them a golden, shiny finish when baked.
Place the filled puffs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each puff.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the puffs from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm.
Serve as an appetizer or snack, and enjoy!
