Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Unravel the pastry on the sheet of baking parchment it comes with, and cut into six squares. Mix the soft cheese with the mustard, if using, and a good grinding of black pepper. Divide between the middles of the pastry squares, and smooth over in a diagonal line from one corner to the opposite side.
- Lay a bacon rasher over the soft cheese, then scatter over the cheese. Brush the two exposed corners of pastry with beaten egg, and fold over the top of the filling to join together. Brush the tops with more egg, then slide the baking parchment on to a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 mins until the cheese has melted and the pastry is golden.
- Transfer to a cooling rack for 5-10 mins before serving warm. Will keep chilled in an airtight container for two-three days.

BACON-CHEESE TURNOVERS
Your guests wont be able to get enough of these delicious appetizers. They always disappear fast whenever I serve them. I tweaked it a bit but I think the original recipe can be found in the Great American Brand Name Cook Book from 1993 by the name Bacon Appetizer Crescents.

BACON, EGG AND CHEESE TURNOVERS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Put a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, flipping once, until crispy, about 7 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then roughly chop. Set aside.
- Whisk together 4 of the eggs in a medium bowl until homogeneous, then stir in the chives and mozzarella.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet and cook until the bottom is set. Use a spatula to gently pull the bottom cooked parts to the sides of the skillet to make space for more of the mixture to cook. Repeat this gentle pulling process one or two more times until a majority of the mixture is set, then transfer the mixture to a bowl. The eggs should still be be quite wet, as they'll continue to cook in the oven. Season them with salt and pepper and a few shakes of hot sauce.
- On a work surface, roll out the puff pastry to a 10-by-15-inch rectangle. Cut into six 5-inch squares. Top each of the squares with a schmear of scallion cream cheese, then a bit of the bacon and finally a spoonful of the scrambled eggs, distributing them evenly and leaving a 3/4-inch border around the edges.
- Beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl to make an egg wash. Brush the edges of the puff pastry squares with the egg wash, fold them in half to make rectangles and pinch the edges to seal them well. Transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, placing them 1 inch apart. Brush the tops with the egg wash and top with the Everything Bagel Topping. Bake until golden brown; begin checking for doneness at 30 minutes. Let cool slightly and serve with ketchup. Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in a toaster oven.
- Combine the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion and salt in a small bowl.

Tips:
- For a flaky crust, use cold butter and work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Avoid overworking the dough, as this will make it tough.
- To prevent the turnovers from becoming soggy, brush them with an egg wash before baking. This will create a barrier between the filling and the dough.
- Be careful not to overfill the turnovers, as this can cause them to burst open during baking.
- To ensure that the turnovers are cooked through, bake them until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
