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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets. If they are pre-rolled, simply unroll them.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Place the second puff pastry sheet on top of the first sheet, pressing down gently to adhere.
Step 7
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the layered pastry into strips about 1 inch wide.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Brush the tops of the twists with the remaining egg wash, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the sticks are puffed and golden brown.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy, cheesy, and bacon-filled snack!
