Cheese and Bacon Twists


Just a dalliance with left overs...some flaky pastry scraps, heel end of parmesan and 3 rashers of cooked bacon.

Piece together (if scraps) and roll out the pastry into sheet 12cm x20cm as thin as possible. Cut up the bacon into small pieces; grate the end of the parmesan.

Cut the pastry into 10 strips approx 2cm wide- sprinkle the bacon over the strips. Brush with a little beaten egg or milk, twist the strips twice. Place on a greased baking tray; sprinkle the grated parmesan over the twists and place in a pre heated oven at 180 C; 350 F; Gas 5 for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. If you can cook in the oven when the main pastry item is cooking - even better. I retained some grated parmesan for garnish, if required and obviously the bacon can be removed if a meat free twist is required.
Ideal with drinks in a sunny garden.
Have a good weekend.
