Ingredients
- 320 g Ready Rolled Puff Pastry 1 Pack
- 12 Rashers Smoked Streaky Bacon 240g
- 100 g Sharp Cheddar Cheese 1 Cup
- 180 g Small Chunk Branston Pickle ½ Cup + 1 tablespoon
- 1 Medium Egg
- 1 Pinch Coarse Sea Salt Be generous
Instructions
- Grate the cheddar cheese.
- Cut the puff pastry into 6 equally sized squares. I use a pizza cutter to do this.
- Place a puff pastry square like a diamond and sprinkle the cheese from one corner to the next along the centre of the pastry.
- Add 1½ tablespoons of pickle along the length of the cheese.
- Layer on two of the bacon rashers, then bring the two corners up and pinch well to prevent the turnovers from opening whilst they are baking. Repeat this process with the remaining 5 squares of pastry.
- Beat the egg, then brush the turnovers and sprinkle the pastry with a little coarse sea salt.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes at 220°C or 430°F and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
