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.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the bacon in a large frying pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5-6 minutes. Flip the bacon about halfway through the cooking time. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
- On a very lightly floured working surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets. *Gently open the sheets, and use a dab of water to seal any cracks.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the pastry sheets into 4-6 squares. I am using the larger squares, so I only cut 4 sections per sheet.
- Lay a slice of bacon over the center of each square diagonally then top with a sprinkle of the grated cheddar cheese.
- Bring in two opposite corners, laying the first down then folding the other corner over the first. *You can use a dab of water to help seal the folded puff pastry corners. Pinching the corners together will also help to prevent the ends from separating during baking.
- Coat the entire exposed surface of the puff pastry with the egg wash and then transfer them to your prepared baking sheet. Be sure to leave spacing between the pastries as they will expand.
- Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 15-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden and the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before serving.

BACON, EGG AND CHEESE BAGELS
Steps:
- Place two oven racks in the middle positions. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Arrange the bacon on 2 sheet trays. Using a pastry brush, brush both sides with the sambal. Bake, rotating the sheet trays and flipping the bacon, until golden brown and crispy, 25 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate or on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to cool and drain off excess oil.
- For the eggs: Brush the bottoms and sides of two 8-inch square baking pans with the melted butter. Set aside.
- Put the flour in a medium bowl and whisk in the milk a little at a time until smooth. Add the eggs, salt and pepper and whisk until smooth. Pour into the prepared baking pans and sprinkle the scallions over the top. Scatter the cream cheese evenly on top. Bake until the eggs are just set and the edges have just begun to pull away from the sides of the pans, 20 to 25 minutes. Finish with flakey salt. Cut each pan of eggs into 4 squares, for a total of 8.
- To assemble: Place each bagel cut-side up on a sheet of foil large enough to wrap the whole bagel. Add a slice of American cheese to each bottom half. Top each with a square of eggs. Top each with a slice of cheese and 3 slices of bacon. (Add ketchup and hot sauce too, if you like.) Wrap the bagels up in the foil. Slice and serve immediately with ketchup or hot sauce if you wish.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, salt and yeast . Add the water and 1 tablespoon of the barley malt and mix to form a stiff dough. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and slightly sticky. Transfer to an oiled bowl, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Let the dough sit at room temperature for an hour, then turn it out onto a clean work surface. Divide it into 8 equal parts and stretch them into smooth balls, making sure to seal any dough seams well. Shape the bagels by sticking your thumb through the center of each ball and using your fingers to gently stretch a 2-inch hole. Cover the bagels with a towel and let rise for 15 minutes.
- Arrange the oven racks in the upper middle and lower middle positions. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the baking soda and remaining tablespoon barley malt. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and grease them well. Lay out a clean kitchen towel near your pot of boiling water.
- Working with 3 bagels at a time, boil them for 1 minute on each side (use a timer for this). With a slotted spoon or spatula, transfer them briefly to the kitchen towel to catch any excess moisture, then transfer to the baking sheets.
- Brush the bagels with the egg white and sprinkle with the sesame seeds and salt. Bake the bagels for 10 minutes, then switch the positions and rotate the pans and bake until golden brown, 6 to 8 more minutes. Let cool slightly and enjoy!
BACON, EGG AND CHEESE TURNOVERS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Put a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, flipping once, until crispy, about 7 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then roughly chop. Set aside.
- Whisk together 4 of the eggs in a medium bowl until homogeneous, then stir in the chives and mozzarella.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet and cook until the bottom is set. Use a spatula to gently pull the bottom cooked parts to the sides of the skillet to make space for more of the mixture to cook. Repeat this gentle pulling process one or two more times until a majority of the mixture is set, then transfer the mixture to a bowl. The eggs should still be be quite wet, as they'll continue to cook in the oven. Season them with salt and pepper and a few shakes of hot sauce.
- On a work surface, roll out the puff pastry to a 10-by-15-inch rectangle. Cut into six 5-inch squares. Top each of the squares with a schmear of scallion cream cheese, then a bit of the bacon and finally a spoonful of the scrambled eggs, distributing them evenly and leaving a 3/4-inch border around the edges.
- Beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl to make an egg wash. Brush the edges of the puff pastry squares with the egg wash, fold them in half to make rectangles and pinch the edges to seal them well. Transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, placing them 1 inch apart. Brush the tops with the egg wash and top with the Everything Bagel Topping. Bake until golden brown; begin checking for doneness at 30 minutes. Let cool slightly and serve with ketchup. Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in a toaster oven.
- Combine the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion and salt in a small bowl.
