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.

BACON, EGG AND CHEESE TURNOVERS



Bacon, Egg and Cheese Turnovers image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 slices bacon
5 large eggs
2 tablespoons chopped chives
4 ounces shredded whole-milk mozzarella
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
A few shakes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed in the refrigerator overnight
6 ounces scallion cream cheese, at room temperature (or 6 ounces plain cream cheese mixed with 2 scallions, finely chopped)
Everything Bagel Topping, recipe follows
Ketchup, for serving
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
3/4 teaspoon poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

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.

CHEESY CHICKEN, BACON & TATER TOT CROCK POT BAKE



Cheesy Chicken, Bacon & Tater Tot Crock Pot Bake image

This is a simple throw-together dish I came up with that is great for a Sunday after-church meal. Note: You can fry your own bacon for this recipe. I like the taste of bacon but cannot handle the lingering smell it leaves in the house when you fry it, so I just buy the jarred bacon for the few times a year I use it.

Provided by Chef Buggsy Mate

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 3h35m

Yield 1 casserole, 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (32 ounce) bag tater tots
0.5 (3 ounce) jar bacon bits (I used Hormel brand)
5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups grated colby cheese
1 1/2 cups grated monterey jack pepper cheese
3/4 cup milk
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Grease the bottom of the crock pot.
  • Layer 1/2 the tater tots on the bottom of the pot.
  • Sprinkle with 1/4 of the jar of bacon bits.
  • Combine the two cheeses, and sprinkle 1/3 of it over the bacon and tots.
  • Top cheese with the chicken breasts.
  • Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Top chicken with another 1/3 of cheese.
  • Sprinkle with another 1/4 of the jar of bacon bits.
  • Add remainder of the tater tots.
  • Top with final 1/3 of the cheese.
  • Pour milk over the top.
  • Set crock pot to high and cook 3-4 hours.

Tips:

  • To ensure that the turnovers are cooked evenly, preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the puff pastry dough, as this will help to prevent tearing.
  • Be sure to seal the edges of the turnovers well so that the filling does not leak out during baking.
  • If you are using a food processor to make the filling, be sure to pulse it only until the ingredients are combined. Over-processing will make the filling too smooth.
  • For a more flavorful filling, use a variety of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  • Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme, to the filling for extra flavor.
  • If you are using cooked chicken, be sure to shred it into small pieces before adding it to the filling.
  • Serve the turnovers warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or marinara sauce.

Conclusion:

These cheesy chicken and bacon turnovers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time and frozen for later. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a tasty and satisfying dish that everyone will enjoy.
