Baking sheet

Ingredients

150 g Flavored cream cheese e.g. chive and onion
1 pack Refrigerated puff pastry dough e.g. Jus Rol
100 g Bacon leaner bacon preferred
100 g Shredded cheese

Instructions

First cut your bacon in little pieces. Fry in a pan if the bacon is too fatty. The amount of bacon being used later should be around 100g after frying.
Roll out the pastry dough and distribute the cream cheese of your choice over the pastry dough. Leave a little room on one of the long sides.
Add the shredded cheese and the bacon pieces. Distribute evenly.
Roll the dough from the side where you didn't leave room. Try to do it as firm as possible. Put the dough in the freezer for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven at 375°F in the meantime.
After the roll rested in the freezer for a bit (at least 15 minutes) take it out and cut it up into half inch slices. Distribute on your baking sheet and leave some room in between (you can use the baking paper from the pastry dough). Bake for 15 minutes.

Notes

You can use whatever cream cheese and shredded cheese you like. In my last attempt I used Jalapeno cream cheese and some spicy cheese blend. If you only have plain cream cheese available, just season it with some fresh herbs or spices and my favorite: Paprika powder! One snail has about 110 calories!
