BACON AND CHEESE COCKTAIL SWIRLS



Bacon and Cheese Cocktail Swirls image

I have been making these for eons from an old Pillsbury cookbook, though I have changed the recipe a bit over time. I recently started using the new Recipe Creations flaky dough sheets from Pillsbury instead of the crescent dinner rolls listed below. Either way, they are very little work for such a huge welcoming from your guests and family. Be prepared to double this recipe.

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 24 pinwheels

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 slices bacon
6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
6 scallions, green part only, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 sheets frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce package), thawed
All-purpose flour, for dusting
4 ounces Cheddar, grated
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and allow to cool slightly, then finely chop. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese and scallions. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Unfold the pastry sheets on a lightly floured work surface. Lightly roll each piece of pastry into a 10-inch square. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of each piece of pastry, leaving a slight border around the edges. Sprinkle the Cheddar and bacon in an even layer over the top of the cream cheese mixture. Tightly roll each pastry sheet into a log (jelly roll style), then pinch the seam closed and place seam-side down on the work surface.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut both logs crosswise into 12 pinwheels each, approximately 1 inch thick. Transfer 12 pinwheels to each prepared baking sheet, spiral-side up. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon water until combined to make an egg wash. Brush the tops and sides of the pinwheels with the egg wash.
  • Bake the pinwheels until puffed and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.

Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1/2 orange, juiced
1 pound regular uncured bacon (not thick cut)
1/4 cup finely shredded Cheddar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and fit a baking sheet with a wire rack.
  • In a small saucepot, mix the maple syrup, red pepper flakes, orange juice and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
  • Line up the bacon slices on the wire rack and brush with the hot maple syrup mixture. Sprinkle some cheese on each piece of bacon. With a skewer in hand, fold the end of a piece of bacon in half lengthwise and press the skewer through the end. Do this to 4 pieces of bacon, spreading them out evenly across the skewer, and place the skewer on the baking sheet. Twist the bacon pieces into long spirals so as to create straws. Take another skewer and skewer the bottom of each piece of bacon to keep the bacon twisted. Do this to all the bacon.
  • Bake until the bacon browns, about 35 minutes. Let cool slightly on the rack; the bacon will get crunchy as it sits. Serve immediately.
