For 12 portions

Ingredients

250 g puff pastry
75 g bacon (6–8 slices)
100 g hard cheese (edam, gouda or cheddar), grated
1 egg
dried herbs to taste (optional)

Preparation procedure

Preheat the oven to 200 °C (convection 180 °C).
Fry the bacon in a pan without oil until golden and let it drain on a paper towel. Then chop or crumble it into smaller pieces.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface and cut into 12–15 squares about 5 × 5 cm in size.
Place a small amount of the fried bacon in the center of each square and sprinkle with grated cheese. You can also add a pinch of dried herbs to taste.
Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to form a roll or a closed parcel and press the edges firmly.
Transfer the rolls to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush them with beaten egg.
Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden and the puff pastry has puffed up beautifully.
After removing them from the oven, let them cool briefly and serve.

Tips and variations

You can vary the cheese to taste; blue cheese or smoked cheese also work great. If you want a milder version, you can replace some of the bacon with ham. The rolls are also suitable as a base for other fillings, for example spinach or mushrooms.
