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.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the bacon in a large frying pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5-6 minutes. Flip the bacon about halfway through the cooking time. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
- On a very lightly floured working surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets. *Gently open the sheets, and use a dab of water to seal any cracks.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the pastry sheets into 4-6 squares. I am using the larger squares, so I only cut 4 sections per sheet.
- Lay a slice of bacon over the center of each square diagonally then top with a sprinkle of the grated cheddar cheese.
- Bring in two opposite corners, laying the first down then folding the other corner over the first. *You can use a dab of water to help seal the folded puff pastry corners. Pinching the corners together will also help to prevent the ends from separating during baking.
- Coat the entire exposed surface of the puff pastry with the egg wash and then transfer them to your prepared baking sheet. Be sure to leave spacing between the pastries as they will expand.
- Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 15-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden and the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before serving.

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.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the turnovers will taste. Opt for thick-cut bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, and flaky puff pastry dough.
- Don't overfill the turnovers. If you put too much filling in, the turnovers will be difficult to seal and will likely burst open during baking.
- Crimp the edges of the turnovers well. This will help to seal in the filling and prevent the turnovers from leaking.
- Bake the turnovers until they are golden brown. This will ensure that the pastry is cooked through and the filling is hot and melted.
- Let the turnovers cool slightly before serving. This will make them easier to handle and will prevent the filling from oozing out.
