Ingredients
Puff Pastry Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry (thawed)
- 6 strips turkey bacon, cooked and chopped
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped Or your choice of herbs
- to taste salt and pepper
- optional garlic powder or crushed red pepper For added flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it's about 1/8 inch thick.
- Slice the pastry into strips, approximately 1 inch by 5 inches.
- On half of each strip, layer the chopped turkey bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and fresh chives. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder, if desired.
- Fold the other half of each strip over the filling, pressing down on the edges to seal. Twist the pastry gently to create a fun shape.
- Place the twists on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Beat the egg with a splash of water to create an egg wash, then brush it over the twists for a shiny finish.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown.
- Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving—enjoy them while they're warm!
Notes
Make ahead of time and store in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Leftover twists can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
