Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 (17-18 oz) Box Refrigerated Puff Pastry Dough (2 sheets)
- 14 oz Maple Bacon (8-10 strips, cooked and chopped)
- 8 oz Spicy Cheddar Cheese (with Habanero or Jalapeño), shredded
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1/3 cup Maple Syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup to form a smooth spread.
- Unfold one puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and spread half of the maple-Dijon mixture evenly over it.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar and cooked bacon evenly on top.
- Roll both long sides of the dough inward toward the center until they meet. Slice into ½-inch thick pieces.
- Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with the second pastry sheet and remaining filling.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
- Cool slightly before serving. Optionally drizzle with a touch of maple syrup for added shine and flavor.
Notes
- Keep puff pastry cold while working to ensure flakiness.
- Cook and drain bacon before adding to avoid excess grease.
- Chill the rolled pastry before slicing for cleaner edges.
