The Best Way to Cook Bacon
I love bacon but hate the mess it makes when I cook it on the stove.
Recently, I discovered that the best way to cook bacon is in the oven. There is no mess, and I can prep other ingredients while the bacon is cooking.
To cook back in the oven, preheat the oven to 400°. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray for easy cleanup. Lay the strips of bacon on the pan and bake them for about 12 minutes. For even browning, turn the strips of bacon over halfway during baking.
Try this method the next time you need to cook bacon. I think you will agree that it is the best way to prepare it.
Easy Ingredient List
- Puff pastry sheets-purchasing frozen puff pastry cuts the prep time by 95%. You can find puff pastry with desserts in the frozen food section of your grocery store. Make sure that you purchase puff pastry sheets, not shells.
- Eggs are the main ingredient in these egg and puff pastry bundles.
- Bacon-use your favorite bacon. I like applewood smoked bacon because it adds great flavor.
- Cheese-sharp or mild cheddar cheese or Colby jack cheese are delicious in this recipe. However, use your favorite cheese.
- Flour-use the flour to lightly dust the cutting board's surface where you roll out the pastry. It prevents the pastry from sticking when rolling it out to make the squares.
- Butter-you can use salted or unsalted butter.
- Salt and Pepper season the eggs.
How to Make the Egg and Puff Pastry Bundles
- Spray sheet pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment. Place the bacon on a sheet pan.
- Cook in 400°F oven until crisp.
- Slice or crumble bacon. Set aside.
- While the bacon is cooking, grate the cheese.
- Whisk the eggs, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Melt butter in a non-stick skillet and add the eggs and crumbled bacon. Cook the eggs until almost set. They should look slightly wet.
- Lightly flour a cutting board. Roll out the puff pastry to make a 12-inch by 12-inch square.
- Cut the pastry into 9 4-inch by 4-inch squares. Score the pastry dough in 4" increments on all sides to guide you when cutting the squares.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of the egg mixture diagonally on the squares.
- Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese on the egg.
- Make an egg wash by whisking the egg and water together.
- Lift one corner of the dough and fold it over the egg & cheese mixture. Brush the dough with egg wash, and then fold the opposite corner over to make a bundle. Press to seal. Brush the entire bundle with egg wash. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, everything bagel seasoning or grated parmesan cheese.
- Bake until golden brown.
Enjoy!
Don't miss these tips.
- Thaw the puff pastry overnight in the refrigerator.
- Keep the puff pastry cold, or it will be sticky and challenging to work with.
- Roll the dough out gently, or it won't be as flaky.
- The bundles will puff up better if the pastry is not too warm.
Common questions about this recipe
It is a laminated dough made with flour, water, butter, and salt. When baked, it is a flaky and delicious pastry. Puff pastry is used to make both sweet and savory foods.
The bundles are a great make-ahead recipe. Prepare them the day before, cover them, and brush them with the egg wash right before baking.
It is best to thaw puff pastry in the refrigerator overnight. However, you can thaw it for 15-20 minutes on your kitchen counter in a pinch.
Leftover egg puff pastry bundles are delicious reheated. Reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds, or wrap them in foil and heat them in the oven at 325°F until warm.
Crescent roll dough can be used in place of puff pastry. The bundles will not be as flaky and puffy but will taste similar. Follow the baking instructions on the package.
