These super simple Bacon & Cheese Wraps with Puff Pastry are a homemade version of the cheesy bacon turnovers usually found in sad garages or Greggs. Often found overcooked and dried out, these far superior light and flaky homemade pastries are ready to eat in under 30 minutes!<\/p>\n
I truly believe that you can make any dish into a proper feast! Whether thats a feast for one after work on a Tuesday, a casual feast for four on a Friday evening or a feast for 12 for a special occasion!<\/p>\n
There are effectively 4 main types of bacon in the UK. Back bacon and streaky bacon with each being available smoked and unsmoked. I am largely an unsmoked back bacon kind of girl and that is what I have used in these pastries.<\/p>\n
I do however also love middle bacon which is essentially back and streaky slices in one piece. As with most things in life \u2013 if you have a preference, go with it!<\/p>\n
You do really want to use puff pastry rather than flaky or shortcrust as the puffiness makes these turnovers not-too-heavy.<\/p>\n
You can use my recipe to make your own Homemade Puff Pastry or use shop bought. Use the ready rolled kind and you can whip these up super fast. The all-butter kind is preferable if available and you\u2019re not avoiding dairy.<\/p>\n
I prescribe the ready grated kind of mozzarella. As with many baked pastry items, whilst fresh mozzarella is a glorious thing, it is also a very wet thing. And that does not make for lovely crisp pastries. The relatively dry slices that you can buy would also be suitable.<\/p>\n
You can find more recipes featuring mozzarella in my collection of\u00a0The Best Mozzarella Recipes.<\/p>\n
If you want to mix it up or prefer a stronger cheesy flavour, you can mix in a cheddar or almost any other cheese you fancy.<\/p>\nPrint<\/a><\/span>
