Biscuits with cheese and bacon in puff pastry sound delicious! Here’s a simple recipe to make these savory treats:
Ingredients:
1 package puff pastry (usually comes with two sheets)
1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (about 6-8 slices)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional, for extra flavor)
1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a floured surface. If the puff pastry is already rolled, just unroll it. Cut each sheet into squares or rectangles, depending on how big you want your biscuits.
Add the Cheese and Bacon: Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard (if using) on each piece of puff pastry. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top, followed by the crumbled bacon. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
Fold the Pastry: Carefully fold each square or rectangle of puff pastry over to form a pocket or a triangle. Press the edges gently with a fork to seal them.
Egg Wash: Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the top of each pastry to give them a golden finish when baked.
Bake: Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden and puffed.
Serve: Let them cool for a minute before serving. They are perfect as appetizers or as a snack with a warm drink.
Enjoy your delicious cheesy, bacon-filled puff pastries! Would you like any variations or additions to the recipe?
