Warm puff pastry with a cheesy bacon filling. Yummy!!
I was walking through the grocery store wondering what I should make as an appetizer to have on Christmas Eve with our immediate family. Passing the freezer bed I saw a box of puff pastry and I knew… MMMMmmmmmmm… I was going to make something with that.

Cut the puff pastry into 16 even squares.
I fully intended to find a recipe. Time got past me and suddenly it was time to have appetizers. So I whipped up this recipe from the top of my head. Thinking it would be good, but not quite sure, I served it to my family. They weren’t sure they even wanted to eat something.
It was such a hit that 5 minutes later they were all gone and I had requests for more.
I think you’ll love them too! There are two kinds here… so be sure to try them both.
Bacon Cheese Puffs
1 box puff pastry (2 sheets)
1 8oz package cream cheese, softened

Bring the corners to the centre, then pinch the sides together.
1 cup extremely finely ground (much smaller than crumbled) cooked bacon bits
1/4 cup very finely sliced green onion
- Thaw puff pastry in the fridge overnight or on the counter for 2 hours.
- Mix remaining ingredients until well blended.
- Lay out the puff pastry on the parchment it comes with. Cut each sheet into 16 squares. (See photo.)
- Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly onto the middle of the squares (about 1 1/2 tsp each).
- Pinch the corners together in the middle. Then pinch the sides to completely conceal the filling.
- Line a baking sheet with the parchment paper it came with, and place the puffs evenly spaced on the pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until golden.

This is what they should look like before the sides are pinched together.

A plate full of melt-in-your-mouth appetizers!
