Cheese and bacon pastry twists are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. Combining the savory flavors of crispy bacon, aromatic garlic, and rich parmesan cheese with the flaky texture of puff pastry, these twists are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're hosting a party or looking for a tasty treat, this recipe is sure to be a hit.
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!
