Puff pastry is a gift from the gods. Stuff it with bacon and cheese? Now we’re talking. These turnovers are flaky, buttery, salty, and ridiculously easy. No rolling. No fuss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Twenty minutes. Four ingredients. Zero leftovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Makes 8 turnovers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed<\/li>\n\n\n\n
8 slices bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar or Gruy\u00e8re cheese<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Optional: black pepper, chives, or hot honey for drizzling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Prep<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Roll out puff pastry slightly (just to smooth seams). Cut into 8 squares.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Fill<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Spoon bacon and cheese into the center of each square. Don’t overstuff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Fold diagonally into a triangle. Press edges with a fork to seal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Egg Wash & Bake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Brush tops with beaten egg. Cut a small slit for steam to escape.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Bake 15-18 minutes until puffed and golden brown.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Serve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Cool 5 minutes. Drizzle with hot honey if you’re feeling fancy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Difficulty:<\/strong> Easy (puff pastry does the heavy lifting)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Storage Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
