Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess grease, then crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets. If they are pre-rolled, simply unroll them.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the surface of one puff pastry sheet with the egg wash. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sheet, followed by the crumbled bacon. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for seasoning.
Place the second puff pastry sheet on top of the first sheet, pressing down gently to adhere.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the layered pastry into strips about 1 inch wide.
Twist each strip gently a few times to create a spiral shape, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Brush the tops of the twists with the remaining egg wash, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the sticks are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy, cheesy, and bacon-filled snack!
