Ingredients:
1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a blend of your choice)
4-5 strips of cooked bacon, chopped
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional, for seasoning)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for seasoning)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
Place the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, gently smooth out the creases and thin the dough slightly.
Cut out circles of puff pastry using a round cookie cutter (approximately 2-3 inches in diameter). Depending on the size of your cutter, you should yield 8-10 circles.
3. Layer the Pastry:
For thicker, more layered biscuits, stack two puff pastry circles atop one another and press down gently. This will give you 4-5 double-layered biscuits.
Arrange the puff pastry circles on the prepared baking sheet.
