Description

Ingredients

• One sheet of puff pastry dough, defrosted
• Three tablespoons any flavor jam or preserves, or one beaten egg white
• ½ cup finely grated cheese of your choice
• Toppings of your choice, such as: 1 tablespoon finely chopped herbs, like rosemary, basil, thyme, or sage....1 tablespoon finely chopped jalapeno...2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion...2 tablespoons minced garlic...freshly ground pepper...anything else you like!
• 12 slices of bacon
• ½ cup brown sugar (optional)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Cut puff pastry into 12 long strips.
• Brush strips with jam or egg. Sprinkle with cheese and other toppings.
• Gently press the cheese and toppings into the dough. You can use a rolling pin or your hands.
• Fold each strip in half over the cheese and pinch ends together. Twist gently and set aside.
• Wrap bacon around each pastry twist.
• Optional step: Place the brown sugar in a small bowl. Dip the bacon-wrapped pastry in the sugar and roll back and forth to coat.
• Place bacon-wrapped twists on a wire rack. Place the rack inside a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Liquid will collect in the bottom of the baking sheet, so DO NOT substitute a cookie sheet for this step! Also, turn your fan on. These tend to smoke.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes, checking often. They are done when the bacon is cooked through. Let cool briefly then enjoy.
