Description
Cheesy Bacon Stuffed Puff Pastry Rolls are irresistible savory treats filled with a creamy cheese and bacon mixture, wrapped in flaky puff pastry.
Ingredients
- 1 package (17.3 oz) frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese, optional
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Set the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the bacon. Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, cool, and crumble into small pieces.
- Prepare the cheesy filling. In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, onion powder, and black pepper until smooth. Fold in the cheddar, mozzarella, crumbled bacon, and green onions.
- Prepare the pastry. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Gently roll each sheet into a rectangle, approximately 10 × 12 inches.
- Add the filling. Spread half of the cheese and bacon mixture evenly over each pastry sheet, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Roll tightly. Starting from one long edge, roll each pastry sheet into a log. Pinch the seam gently to seal.
- Slice the rolls. Cut each log into approximately 1-inch-thick slices. Place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each roll.
- Apply the egg wash. Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water. Brush the exposed pastry lightly with the mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan if desired.
- Bake until golden. Bake for 18–23 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Garnish and serve. Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Keep the pastry cold: Cold puff pastry rises better and creates flaky layers.
- Avoid overfilling: Too much filling can leak out during baking.
- Drain the bacon well: Excess grease can make the pastry soggy.
- Add a little heat: Mix in 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño for a spicy version.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5–8 minutes to bring back the crispiness.
