Cheese Bacon Turnovers Recipes

CHEESE AND BACON TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°c (180 fan/ 400F/ Gas 6) and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
• Cut the puff pastry sheet into 6 equal squares with a sharp knife and then lay them on the diagonal so they look like diamonds.
• If you are using the Dijon mustard, spread 1/4 of a teaspoon onto the middle of each piece of pastry then top with the bacon (I grill the bacon rashers for a few minutes so they go really crispy when baked in the puff pastry) and grated cheese.
• Brush the egg wash around all sides of the pastry them fold up one corner into the middle, followed by the other corner before pinching the two pieces together with your finger and thumb (this will stop them coming apart when baked).
• Brush all of the turnovers with egg wash then bake in the oven for 18 minutes until golden and crispy. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes until ready to eat.

CHEESE & BACON TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Unravel the pastry on the sheet of baking parchment it comes with, and cut into six squares. Mix the soft cheese with the mustard, if using, and a good grinding of black pepper. Divide between the middles of the pastry squares, and smooth over in a diagonal line from one corner to the opposite side.
• Lay a bacon rasher over the soft cheese, then scatter over the cheese. Brush the two exposed corners of pastry with beaten egg, and fold over the top of the filling to join together. Brush the tops with more egg, then slide the baking parchment on to a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 mins until the cheese has melted and the pastry is golden.
• Transfer to a cooling rack for 5-10 mins before serving warm. Will keep chilled in an airtight container for two-three days.

CHEESE AND BACON TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cook the bacon in a large frying pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5-6 minutes. Flip the bacon about halfway through the cooking time. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
• On a very lightly floured working surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets. *Gently open the sheets, and use a dab of water to seal any cracks.
• Use a sharp knife to cut the pastry sheets into 4-6 squares. I am using the larger squares, so I only cut 4 sections per sheet.
• Lay a slice of bacon over the center of each square diagonally then top with a sprinkle of the grated cheddar cheese.
• Bring in two opposite corners, laying the first down then folding the other corner over the first. *You can use a dab of water to help seal the folded puff pastry corners. Pinching the corners together will also help to prevent the ends from separating during baking.
• Coat the entire exposed surface of the puff pastry with the egg wash and then transfer them to your prepared baking sheet. Be sure to leave spacing between the pastries as they will expand.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 15-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden and the cheese is fully melted.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before serving.

BACON, EGG AND CHEESE TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, flipping once, until crispy, about 7 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then roughly chop. Set aside.
• Whisk together 4 of the eggs in a medium bowl until homogeneous, then stir in the chives and mozzarella.
• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet and cook until the bottom is set. Use a spatula to gently pull the bottom cooked parts to the sides of the skillet to make space for more of the mixture to cook. Repeat this gentle pulling process one or two more times until a majority of the mixture is set, then transfer the mixture to a bowl. The eggs should still be be quite wet, as they'll continue to cook in the oven. Season them with salt and pepper and a few shakes of hot sauce.
• On a work surface, roll out the puff pastry to a 10-by-15-inch rectangle. Cut into six 5-inch squares. Top each of the squares with a schmear of scallion cream cheese, then a bit of the bacon and finally a spoonful of the scrambled eggs, distributing them evenly and leaving a 3/4-inch border around the edges.
• Beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl to make an egg wash. Brush the edges of the puff pastry squares with the egg wash, fold them in half to make rectangles and pinch the edges to seal them well. Transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, placing them 1 inch apart. Brush the tops with the egg wash and top with the Everything Bagel Topping. Bake until golden brown; begin checking for doneness at 30 minutes. Let cool slightly and serve with ketchup. Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in a toaster oven.
• Combine the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion and salt in a small bowl.
