Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices Cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, carefully unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets.
Using a rolling pin, gently roll out the pastry sheets to smooth out any creases.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush a thin layer of the egg wash over one side of each puff pastry sheet to help seal the filling.
Evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon on one puff pastry sheet, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Place the second puff pastry sheet on top, egg wash side down, and press gently to adhere.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the layered puff pastry into 12 equal-sized squares.
Transfer the squares onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Brush the tops of the puffs with the remaining egg wash for a golden finish.
Optional: Sprinkle with a pinch of dried parsley for added color and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, bacon-filled goodness!
