Bacon and Onion Flaky Pastry Rolls Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
• 6 strips bacon, chopped
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice, optional)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley), chopped (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cook Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
3. Sauté Onions: In the same skillet, remove excess fat, leaving about a tablespoon. Add the chopped onion and sauté until caramelized and golden brown (about 5-7 minutes). Season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked bacon back to the skillet and mix well. If using, stir in fresh herbs and cheese. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. Prepare Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth it out. Cut it into rectangles (about 3×4 inches each).
5. Fill the Pastry: Place a spoonful of the bacon and onion mixture on one half of each pastry rectangle. Be careful not to overfill.
6. Roll and Seal: Fold the pastry over to enclose the filling, pressing the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch and extra sealing.
7. Egg Wash: Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
9. Serve: Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite dipping sauce!
