Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Reduced-fat puff pastry
- 100 grams Low-fat bacon
- 100 grams Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the reduced-fat puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 3mm thick. Cut into four equal squares.
Finely chop the low-fat bacon and green onions. Grate the reduced-fat cheddar cheese.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
In a mixing bowl, combine cooked bacon, grated cheese, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.
Beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush the edges of the pastry squares lightly with the beaten egg to help seal.
Place a generous spoonful of the filling mixture in the center of each pastry square.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges to seal tightly. Use a fork to crimp the edges if desired.
Brush the tops of each turnover with the remaining beaten egg to give a golden glaze.
Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your low fat bacon and cheese turnovers warm.
