Description
Super simple and easy party snack everybody loves: Cheesy Bacon Wrapped Puff Pastry Sticks. The best snack a party can get ;P
Ingredients
10.5 oz.(300g) fresh puff pastry dough (homemade or store-bought)
1 medium egg
1/4 tsp. smoked salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. smoked paprika powder
3.5 oz. (100g) grated cheese (eg. cheddar, parmesan)
4 oz. (120g) thinly sliced bacon (18–20 slices)
1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
1 tbsp. fresh rosemary, chopped finely
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside.
2. Roll out the puff pastry dough on a floured surface into a rectangle of about 20×10 inches (50x25cm). Sprinkle the grated cheeses evenly all over the dough. Use a rolling pin to press the cheeses lightly into the surface of the dough.
3. Mix the egg with smoked salt, pepper, and paprika powder. Brush the dough with that mix – try not to brush the cheeses off the surface. Place the rectangle with the long side facing towards you on the workspace and cut into 10×1 inches (25×2,5cm) strips. Take one of the strips, fold it in half and pinch the ends together. The surface with the cheese should face outside. Gently twist the shorter strips/ring you created several times, then take a strip of bacon and wrap it around the twisted pastry. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process until all dough and bacon are used.
4. Mix brown sugar and rosemary on a plate and gently roll each bacon-wrapped puff pastry stick in that mixture to coat it. Place on the baking sheet again and bake for about 25-30 Minutes. Be careful not to burn the bacon sticks – start checking at the 20-minute mark. The sticks should get a nice dark color, but should not look burned. Take out of the oven and place on a wire rack to cool down. You can serve the puff pastry sticks warm or cold.
Notes
Enjoy baking!
