Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Heat 2 tsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely diced 1/2 onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chopped bacon strips to the skillet and cook until crispy, around 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.
- On a lightly floured surface, lay out the thawed puff pastry sheet.
- Brush the melted butter evenly over the entire surface of the pastry.
- Evenly spread the cooled onion, bacon, and garlic mixture over the buttered pastry.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the mixture.
- Carefully fold the puff pastry sheet in half, covering the filling to create a sandwich.
- Use a rolling pin to gently press the layers together.
- Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the pastry into strips roughly 1 inch wide.
- Twist each strip several times to form a spiral and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Ensure there is space between each twist to allow for expansion during baking.
- Lightly spray the twists with cooking spray oil for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and puffed up.
- Once done, remove the twists from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
- Allow the twists to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving.
Tips:
- Make sure the puff pastry is fully thawed before using it to ensure it rolls out easily and achieves a flaky texture.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy but not overly browned to avoid burning it when baking the twists.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the twists from sticking to the baking sheet.
- For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of chili flakes or black pepper to the cheese mixture.
- Brush the pastry twists with a beaten egg before baking for a golden, glossy finish.
- Let the twists cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth and to allow the flavors to meld.
These cheese and bacon pastry twists are a delightful treat that will impress your guests and satisfy your cravings. The combination of crispy bacon, melted cheese, and buttery puff pastry creates a flavor sensation that's hard to resist. Serve them warm and watch them disappear quickly!
