Ingredients

  • Puff Pastry: 800 grams (about 28 oz), thawed if frozen
  • Ketchup: 2 tablespoons
  • Mayonnaise: 2 tablespoons
  • Bacon: 200 grams (7 oz), chopped
  • Cheese: 150 grams (5 oz), shredded
  • Egg: 1, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Black Pepper: To taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Set the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:

    • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
    • Spread a thin layer of ketchup and mayonnaise over the pastry.
  3. Add the Filling:

    • Evenly distribute the chopped bacon and shredded cheese over one half of the pastry.
    • Sprinkle with black pepper for extra flavor.
  4. Fold and Seal:

    • Fold the pastry over the filling and press the edges to seal.
    • Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden crust.
  5. Bake Until Golden:

    • Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve:

    • Let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a flakier crust, keep the puff pastry cold until baking.
  • Use any cheese you prefer—cheddar, gouda, or mozzarella all work well.
  • If you like a little spice, add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
