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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, carefully unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets.

Step 3

Using a rolling pin, gently roll out the pastry sheets to smooth out any creases.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.

Step 5

Brush a thin layer of the egg wash over one side of each puff pastry sheet to help seal the filling.

Step 6

Evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon on one puff pastry sheet, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

Step 7

Place the second puff pastry sheet on top, egg wash side down, and press gently to adhere.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the layered puff pastry into 12 equal-sized squares.

Step 9

Transfer the squares onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the puffs with the remaining egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 11

Optional: Sprinkle with a pinch of dried parsley for added color and flavor.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and crispy.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Step 14

Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, bacon-filled goodness!
