Description
A crisp, golden puff pastry filled with savory beef, smoky bacon, soft-cooked egg, and melty cheese — a satisfying bite any time of day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet of puff pastry
- 100g beef, cooked and chopped
- 2 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 eggs
- 100g cheese (cheddar or your choice), shredded
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the chilled puff pastry to smooth it and make it slightly larger. Keep the pastry chilled if it softens.
- In a medium bowl, mix the cooked, chopped beef, crumbled bacon, the two eggs, shredded cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until the ingredients are well combined. Taste a small bit (if cooled) and adjust seasoning.
- Cut the pastry into squares (four large or six small, depending on size). Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each square. Fold the pastry over to create a triangle or envelope shape and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp edges if you like. Beat the remaining egg and brush the tops of each pastry for a deep golden finish. Bake on the prepared sheet for 15–20 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove pastries from the oven and let them cool slightly on a rack for 5 minutes. This helps the filling set and prevents burns. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
Serve warm as a handheld breakfast or brunch item. These pastries also pair well with a cup of black coffee or a bright iced tea.
