Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool. Chop the bacon into small pieces.
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, sliced green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly to ensure even thickness. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, for a total of 8 squares.
Spoon about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the cheese and bacon mixture into the center of each square.
Fold the corners of each square over the filling, pinching the edges tightly to seal and form a neat pouch. Use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with water to create an egg wash.
Brush the top of each pastry with the egg wash to achieve a golden, shiny finish when baked.
Arrange the puffs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them to allow for expansion.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until the puffs are golden brown and flaky.
Remove the puffs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm, and enjoy your irresistible Cheesy Bacon Puffs!
