Bacon and Cheese Turnovers (Puff Pastry Pockets of Joy)

Puff pastry is a gift from the gods. Stuff it with bacon and cheese? Now we’re talking. These turnovers are flaky, buttery, salty, and ridiculously easy. No rolling. No fuss.

Twenty minutes. Four ingredients. Zero leftovers.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Prep

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out puff pastry slightly (just to smooth seams). Cut into 8 squares.

2

Fill

Spoon bacon and cheese into the center of each square. Don’t overstuff.

Fold diagonally into a triangle. Press edges with a fork to seal.

3

Egg Wash & Bake

Brush tops with beaten egg. Cut a small slit for steam to escape.

Bake 15-18 minutes until puffed and golden brown.

4

Serve

Cool 5 minutes. Drizzle with hot honey if you’re feeling fancy.
