Ingredients

• 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese
• 1 whole Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

In a frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, transfer to a paper towel to drain excess fat. Let cool slightly, then crumble into small pieces.

Step 4

Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, gently roll it out to smooth any creases.

Step 5

Cut the pastry into 6 equal squares.

Step 6

Distribute the crumbled bacon and grated cheddar cheese evenly onto one diagonal half of each pastry square, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over each pile of bacon and cheese for added flavor.

Step 8

In a small bowl, beat the egg with the milk to create an egg wash.

Step 9

Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash.

Step 10

Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling, forming a triangle. Press the edges with a fork to seal firmly.

Step 11

Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 12

Brush the tops of the turnovers with the remaining egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 13

Use a sharp knife to make a small slit on the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape.

Step 14

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.

Step 15

Allow the turnovers to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
