Ingredients:
1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheese blend)
4-5 strips cooked bacon, chopped
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional, for seasoning)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for seasoning)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Puff Pastry:
On a lightly floured surface, unfold the puff pastry sheet. Use a rolling pin to gently roll it out to even out the creases and make it slightly thinner.
Using a round cookie cutter (about 2-3 inches in diameter), cut out circles of puff pastry. You should get about 8-10 circles depending on the size of your cutter.
Layer the Pastry:
If you want thicker, more layered biscuits, stack two circles of puff pastry on top of each other and press down lightly. This will create 4-5 double-layered biscuits.
Place the puff pastry circles on the prepared baking sheet.
Add the Toppings:
Brush the top of each puff pastry circle with the beaten egg (this helps the toppings stick and gives the pastry a golden color).
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top of each circle.
Add a few pieces of chopped bacon on top of the cheese.
If desired, sprinkle a little black pepper and garlic powder over the top for extra flavor.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve:
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
These cheesy bacon puff pastry biscuits are best enjoyed warm and fresh.
Tips:
Cheese Variations: Feel free to use other types of cheese like mozzarella, Swiss, or Gouda for different flavor profiles.
Additional Toppings: You can also add chopped green onions or a sprinkle of herbs like thyme or rosemary for added flavor.
Make Ahead: These biscuits can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the fridge until ready to bake.
These cheesy bacon puff pastry biscuits are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a savory snack. They are flaky, buttery, and packed with flavor—sure to be a hit with everyone!
