Cheddar & Bacon Puff Pastry Appetizers

Yield: 24 appetizers
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 23 minutes

Kerrygold aged cheddar with Dijon mustard gives this appetizer a wonderful kick. Add the texture of the puff pastry, and you have an amazing appetizer.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, defrosted
  • 6 oz sliced bacon, cut into 1 ½ inch pieces
  • 3 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 7 oz Kerrygold Aged Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 375°F.
  2. On a floured work surface cut the puff pastry into 24 scalloped or straight-edged 2-inch rounds.
  3. Combine the egg yolk with 2 teaspoons water and brush a little of the mixture across the top of each piece. Bake according to package instructions.
  4. While puff pastry is baking, cook bacon. In a frying pan large enough to hold the bacon in a single layer, cook bacon until lightly browned and not too crispy. Transfer to paper towels.
  5. Assemble the appetizers. Using a serrated knife, carefully cut the puff pastry in half like a hamburger bun.
  6. Spread 1/2 teaspoon mustard on the bottom of each piece. Place a piece of bacon on the mustard.
  7. Cut 12 slices of cheese just less than 1/4-inch thick and cut the cheese slices in half; place a piece on the bacon. Top with the other half of puff pastry.
  8. Just before serving, arrange the puff pastry on a cookie sheet and warm in a 275°F oven until the cheese just starts to wilt, 5 to 7 minutes.

Notes

This appetizer can be made ahead and kept in fridge until serving. Warm as instructed.

How to Have an Appetizer Party

An appetizer party is a great way to have a party on a smaller budget. It’s easier to visit with guests because the food can be prepared in advance. It is the perfect party when you don’t have enough space for all your guests – it can be a standing-room-only party rather than a sit-down party.
