Biscuits with cheese and bacon in puff pastry are a delightful treat that combine the flakiness of puff pastry with the savory flavors of cheese and bacon. This recipe takes the classic combination of cheese and bacon and wraps it in buttery, golden puff pastry for a bite-sized snack or appetizer that’s perfect for any occasion. Ideal for parties or as a quick indulgent snack, these pastries are easy to prepare and offer a satisfying blend of crispy texture and rich flavor.
Ingredients:
1 piece of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheeses)
4-5 pieces of cooked bacon, cut into small pieces.
1 egg, whisked (for brushing)
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper (you can add it for flavor)
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder (if desired, for flavoring).
PREPARATION:
Heat the oven before using.
Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) before using it. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Get the puff pastry ready.
On a surface with a little flour, open the puff pastry sheet. Use a rolling pin to gently flatten the dough to smooth out any wrinkles and make it a bit thinner.
Use a circular cookie cutter (around 2-3 inches wide) to cut out puff pastry circles. You should make around 8-10 circles, depending on how big your cutter is.
Put the pastry on top.
If you want your biscuits to be thicker and have more layers, place two circles of puff pastry on top of each other and gently press down. This will make 4-5 biscuits with two layers each.
Put the round puff pastry pieces on the baking sheet that has been prepared.
Put the toppings on.
Brush the top of each pastry circle with the beaten egg. This will help the toppings stay in place and make the pastry turn golden.
Put a lot of grated cheddar cheese on each circle.
Put some chopped bacon on top of the cheese.
If you want, add some black pepper and garlic powder on top for more taste.
Cook in an oven.
Put in the oven that has been preheated for 12-15 minutes until the pastry turns golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
To help or assist.
Take the cookies out of the oven and allow them to cool a bit on the baking tray before serving.
These delicious bacon and cheese pastries are tastiest when eaten warm and right out of the oven.
Advice:
Different types of cheese such as mozzarella, Swiss, or Gouda can be used to create various flavors.
Extra Toppings: You can also include chopped green onions or a bit of herbs such as thyme or rosemary to give it more taste.
Prepare in advance: You can make these biscuits ahead of time and keep them in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake them.
These tasty bacon and cheese pastries are great for breakfast, brunch, or a delicious snack. They are crispy, buttery, and full of flavor – everyone will love them!
