Ingredients:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese of your choice)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: Fresh herbs like chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Puff Pastry:
- On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet. Roll it out slightly to smooth any creases.
- Cut the puff pastry into squares or circles, depending on your preference and the size of the biscuits you want.
- Make the Filling:
- In a small bowl, mix the shredded cheese with the softened cream cheese until well combined.
- Add the crumbled bacon to the cheese mixture and mix well.
- Assemble the Biscuits:
- Place a spoonful of the cheese and bacon mixture in the center of each puff pastry square or circle.
- Fold the puff pastry over the filling to form a pocket, pressing the edges together to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
- Place the assembled biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush with Egg Wash:
- Brush the top of each biscuit with the beaten egg. This will give the pastry a nice golden color when baked.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
- Serve:
- Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Tips:
- Cheese Variations: You can use different types of cheese like mozzarella, Gouda, or Swiss for a different flavor.
- Make Ahead: You can assemble these biscuits ahead of time and freeze them. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
These biscuits with cheese and bacon in puff pastry are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that’s sure to be a hit! Serve them warm, and enjoy the gooey cheese and crispy bacon encased in flaky puff pastry.
