Ingredients

What do you need?

Quantity: 6p

100 g small pieces of fried bacon (smoked)
2 round sheets of puff pastry
125 g brie at room temperature
1 tbsp apricot jam
Black pepper from the mill and pinch of salt
1 yolk beaten with a splash of water
1 Klin dried herbs of your choice:

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Let your puff pastry in the fridge for as long as possible, so that it stays nice and firm. Put the brie in pieces, with the crust, with the jam and pepper and salt in a cutter and mix finely to cream.

Coat the cream together with the baked pieces of smoked bacon open on the puff pastry, down to the edges. Place a second circle of puff pastry and press lightly. Now cut bars of a thick centimeter, possibly with a ribbed cutting roller or large knife.

Heat your oven at 175 °. Form fat muffin or cupcake, you can also just bake it on baking paper without shapes. You push the shorter strips of the side together so that all the strips are about the same length. Turn them up in the opposite direction at both ends, form a swirl or loose buttons with this and place in the baking tin or on the baking sheet. Brush with beaten yolk and sprinkle the herbs of your choice.

Bake for 25 minutes until they are nicely crispy and golden brown. Allow to cool on a grid. Put them in the oven for 5 minutes if you make them in advance!
