Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 6 slices Bacon
• 120 grams Blue cheese
• 100 grams Cream cheese
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels and chop into small pieces. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mix the blue cheese and cream cheese until smooth and combined.

Step 4

Add the chopped bacon, honey, chives, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir well to form the filling.

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into four equal squares, for a total of eight squares.

Step 6

Place a heaping tablespoon of the filling in the center of each square. Fold the corners of the pastry towards the center, overlapping slightly, and pinch lightly to seal.

Step 7

Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Whisk the egg yolk and milk together to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the pastries to give them a golden sheen as they bake.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Sprinkle with additional chives for garnish if desired.
