Cheesy Bacon Puff Pastry Biscuits are a delicious, savory treat perfect for any occasion. Here’s a simple recipe to make these flaky, cheesy, bacon-filled biscuits:
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. If it’s not already rolled out, gently roll it to smooth out any creases.
- Add Cheese and Bacon: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the puff pastry. Then, add the crumbled bacon over the cheese. If you’re using chives, garlic powder, or black pepper, sprinkle them over the cheese and bacon as well.
- Roll and Cut: Starting from one end, roll the puff pastry into a tight log. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to cut the log into 1-inch thick slices.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the slices onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to help them get a nice golden color as they bake.
- Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the tops of each slice.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm and enjoy!
