Bacon and cheese puff pastry twists are a savory snack to serve when friends visit or the family gathers. Spread a sheet of pastry with butter, cover with bacon slices, sprinkle with grated cheese, and cut into strips, then twist into spirals. Brush with beaten egg and bake for 25 minutes at 180 °C (350 °F). Space them apart on the baking sheet so they don't stick together. They pair well with wine or beer.

Ingredients

Tick off what you already have at home.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Roll out the puff pastry and spread with butter. Arrange bacon over the entire surface, sprinkle with grated cheese, and cut the sheet into strips.

  2. Twist the strips into spirals and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave enough space between them so they don't stick together during baking.

  3. Brush the twists with beaten egg and bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for 25 minutes.

Tip: Lightly press the cheese into the pastry with a rolling pin so less falls off when you twist the strips. If the pastry softens and starts to stretch, refrigerate it briefly.
