Puff Pastry & Bacon Christmas Trees
Ingredients
- 11 slices Hatfield Bacon
- 2 sheets puff pastry - thawed
- 1/2 cup whipped cream cheese - divided
- 4 oz cheddar or Colby jack cheese sliced - cut into star shapes
- chopped parsley for garnish - if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Place the Hatfield Bacon in a single layer on a paper towel lined plate. Cover with another layer of paper towels and microwave the bacon for 3 minutes. NOTE: the bacon will not be fully cooked at this point.
- Allow the bacon to cool and then cut in half lengthwise to create 22 long strips. Set aside.
- Roll out the the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it's approximately 11"x10" in size.
- Spread 1/4 cup of the whipped cream cheese over the pastry sheet.
- Place 11 strips of the partially cooked bacon in a row atop the cream cheese.
- Using a pastry wheel, cut 11 rows of bacon topped pastry, creating 1 inch strips.
- Fold the bacon topped pastry accordion-style to form a tree... starting with a wider base and narrowing as you go.
- Slide a skewer through the base of the tree and up through to the top of the tree. Gently spread the layers slightly to retain the tree shape.
- Place on a sheet pan and bake for 18 - 20 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and bacon is crispy.
- Repeat with the 2nd pastry sheet, spreading the remaining 1/4 cup of whipped cream cheese and remaining bacon to form 11 more pastry trees.
- Allow the trees to cool and then add a cheese star at the top of each skewer.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve and enjoy!
