Below are the ingredients you will need to prepare this savory treat:
Ingredients:
- 1 package of puff pastry (thawed)
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 2-3 jalapenos, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Now, let’s move on to the instructions:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped jalapenos. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into squares, about 3×3 inches in size.
- Place a generous spoonful of the cheese and bacon mixture in the center of each square.
- Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling and pinch to seal, creating a pouch. For added flair, you can crimp the edges with a fork.
- Place the pouches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops lightly with the beaten egg to give them a golden color as they bake.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Bacon Jalapeno Popper Puffs warm!
