Puff Pastry Bacon Twists Recipes

PUFF PASTRY BACON TWISTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Lay the two sheets of puff pastry on your cutting board with the long end running left to right and brush lightly with the beaten egg.
• Sprinkle one tablespoon of minced jalapeño over each sheet.
• Divide the shredded cheese between each sheet covering the surface right to the edges.
• Take the palm of your hand and press the cheese into the pastry so it holds in place.
• Take the back side of the dough and fold over to meet the edge closest to you and pinch that seam closed. Pat the top so the top and bottom adhere to each other.
• Take a sharp knife or pizza cutter and cut in half front to back. Then cut each half in half then each quarter in thirds. You will have 12 folded half inch strips.
• Repeat for second sheet.
• Line two sheet pans with foil then place a baking rack in each. Spray the racks with kitchen pan spray.
• Twist each piece two full turns and set back on your board.
• Take each piece of bacon and cut it in half the long way so you have two longs strips. Do this for all 12 pieces so you have 24 long strips.
• Now take each pastry twist and wrap each with a strip of bacon and again place back on your board.
• In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, coriander and cumin and stir to combine then pour out onto a plate or platter.
• Roll each bacon wrapped pastry in the brown sugar mixture and place 12 on each racked sheet pan.
• Bake for 25 minutes, rotate pan and bake for another 25 minutes.
• Ovens vary so start checking for doneness at 40 and 45 minutes - ours took exactly 50 minutes.
• Cool on the rack and serve.

BACON-CHEDDAR TWISTS WITH SOFT-COOKED EGGS

Steps:

• For the twists: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with nonstick spray.
• Whisk together the eggs, mustard and a splash of water until smooth; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Dust a work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry to a 10-by-14-inch rectangle with the shorter side facing you. Spread the cheese over the top half of the dough, then fold the bottom half over the cheese half and roll lightly to seal. Cut the dough vertically into 12 even strips; each strip will be slightly thinner than 1 inch.
• Place a bacon strip on each pastry strip and twist the pastry and bacon together. Place the twists on the prepared baking sheet, pressing down the ends. Brush the tops with some of the egg wash and sprinkle with salt and sesame seeds or poppy seeds (or both).
• Bake until the pastry is golden brown and the bacon is crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet to a rack and let cool for 5 minutes before removing.
• For the eggs: Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil over medium-high heat; there should be enough water to cover the eggs by at least 1 inch. Using tongs, gently place eggs in the water and boil for 5 1/2 minutes for soft-cooked eggs; the whites will be set, but the yolks will be very runny.
• Transfer the saucepan to the sink, pour off most of the water, and then run under cold water for 30 seconds. Set the soft-boiled eggs in egg cups; use an egg topper to slice off the tops of the shells, or tap around the shells with a small spoon to break and peel off. Season lightly with salt and pepper, and serve with the twists for dipping in the yolks.
