Cheese and Bacon Turnovers
These cheese and bacon turnover is a quick appetiser the whole family would love. It is tasty, requires minimal ingredients and no expertise is needed.
Ingredients
- 375 g ready-rolled puff pastry
- 1½ cups shredded cheese
- 8 bacon smoked unsmoked, rashers
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Line a baking tray with a baking sheet then place the bacon on, partially bake the bacon in the oven for 5 minutes. remove from the oven and transfer to a kitchen towel to cool
- Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface or on the parchment paper it came with. Using a sharp knife cut the pastry into 8 equal parts. You can stack the pastry if desired, sprinkle a little bit of flour in between the square pastry and stack.
- Lightly whisk the egg and set it aside
- Lay the bacon on each pastry diagonally, followed by the grated cheese. Fold the two ends of the diamond over the bacon and cheese, brush the egg wash on one of the edges and fold the other over giving it a small pinch. (this is important so that the pastry doesn’t open up during cooking)
- Repeat this for the rest of the pastry then transfer to a lined baking tray leaving space in between them. Egg wash the top of the pastry then bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove it from the oven, leave to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy
Notes
- Leave the puff pastry in the fridge until you are ready to use it. It tends to become soft if left out for longer than necessary which might make it hard to work with.
- Use any type of melting cheese you desire.
- Add any chutney of choice to the bacon before adding the cheese for some extra delicious bite.
- slice the bacon to fit the pastry when assembling.
