Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Picnic, Snack

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
3 tbsp soft cheese
1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
6 rashers dry-cured smoked bacon
100g mature cheddar, gruyère or Swiss cheese, grated
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Unravel the pastry on the sheet of baking parchment it comes with, and cut into six squares. Mix the soft cheese with the mustard, if using, and a good grinding of black pepper. Divide between the middles of the pastry squares, and smooth over in a diagonal line from one corner to the opposite side.
  • Lay a bacon rasher over the soft cheese, then scatter over the cheese. Brush the two exposed corners of pastry with beaten egg, and fold over the top of the filling to join together. Brush the tops with more egg, then slide the baking parchment on to a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 mins until the cheese has melted and the pastry is golden.
  • Transfer to a cooling rack for 5-10 mins before serving warm. Will keep chilled in an airtight container for two-three days.

EASY CHICKEN BACON RECIPE WITH CHEESE



Easy Chicken Bacon Recipe with Cheese image

You won't find a chicken recipe easier than this easy chicken bacon recipe with cheese.

Provided by My Montana Kitchen

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 Medium Chicken Breasts, (about 1.5 Pounds)
1 Cup Shredded Cheese
1/2-3/4 Cup Bacon Pieces
1 Teaspoon Garlic Salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. In a 2 quart dish, place thawed chicken breasts. Top with cheese and bacon. Sprinkle with garlic salt. Bake, uncovered, for approximately 40 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts. The cook time will vary a large amount according to how thick the chicken breasts are and whether or not they are frozen. If you cook them from frozen, I would recommend allowing 1.5 - 2 hours of bake time. I would recommend using a Meat Thermometer to make sure the chicken is an internal temperature of 160-165.
