Bacon and cheese puffs (#thebreakfastclub)

In honour of #thebreakfastclub being live, instead of simply virtual, today I though I would choose a brunch recipe for this weeks #fridayfeasts  It's naughty but nice! (If  you don't know what I am talking about when I say #thebreakfastclub, it's an early week day group on twitter 6.45-8, a positive hug in a mug)

This is a very very simple slap it altogether recipe that can't really go wrong!

Ingredients

1 packet of puff pastry (Or make your own if you have time, a whole lot of time)
3 rashers of back bacon
Chedder cheese - I haven't put an amount here deliberately, it is a to your taste moment, I only use a thin slice per puff, lets say a 1mm thick slice, but what you use is up to you. Brie could be used instead of Chedder too
1 beaten eegg (for egg wash)


Method


Pre heat oven to Gas 5/ 200'c


1 Roll out puff pastry to about 2mm thick, try and make it as rectangular as you can

2 Cut into 6 smaller rectangles

3 Slice each piece of bacon in half across the middle and then place a piece in the middle of each
   rectangle

4 Top with a thin slice of cheese

5 Fold over one corner to sit pointy end on top of the bacon, egg wash the top of the point and fold over the other side to meet it and press down firmly (see photograph) egg wash the rest of the pastry that is showing.

6 For a veggie alternative omit bacon and replace with thinly sliced tomato or mushrooms

7 pop them into the oven for approx10-15 mins until golden brown

8 Can be eaten cold, but nicer warm

9 Obviously if you aree feeding children or a group of people just roll the pastry thiner, cut the rectangles smaller and chop the bacon into as many pieces as you need

10 Enjoy, and let me know how you get on, and any other suggestions or recipe requests
