Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this cheesy puff pastry goodness:
Main Ingredients:
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed if frozen
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Gruyère, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 4–5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs, chopped (e.g. parsley, chives, thyme, or rosemary)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream or milk
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or garlic for extra flavor
How to Make the Cheesy Puff Pastry Bake
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit your baking dish or line a tart pan.
- Place the pastry in the dish and gently press it into the corners. Use a fork to prick the bottom a few times (this prevents it from puffing too much in the center).
