Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- Bacon slices
- Cheese (mild cheddar recommended)
- Ready-made puff pastry sheet
Instructions:
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them until smooth. Grate the cheese, opting for mild cheddar for its creamy texture and subtle flavor. Set aside.
- Take your ready-made puff pastry sheet and carefully cut it into four squares, adjusting the number of squares based on the size of your sheet. Ensure each square is large enough to hold the filling comfortably.
- Create a decadent bed for your bacon by placing a generous amount of grated cheese in the center of each puff pastry square. The cheese will melt beautifully, enveloping the bacon in a creamy embrace.
- Arrange 2 or 3 slices of bacon on top of the cheese, ensuring they are evenly distributed across the square. The bacon adds a savory punch and irresistible crispiness to each turnover.
- Gently fold the corners of each pastry square over the filling, creating a neat parcel that encases the cheese and bacon. Press the edges firmly to seal, ensuring the filling remains intact during cooking.
- Using a pastry brush or your fingertips, generously glaze the top of each turnover with the beaten eggs. This will give the turnovers a golden sheen and help them achieve a crispy, golden-brown finish in the air fryer.
- Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (356°F) in preparation for cooking. Once preheated, carefully place the turnovers in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for proper air circulation.
- Cook the turnovers in the air fryer for approximately 12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, with the cheese melted and bubbly inside. For an extra touch of crispiness, flip the turnovers over during the last minute of cooking to ensure the bottom is evenly browned.
- Once cooked to perfection, remove the turnovers from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly before serving. These delectable treats are best enjoyed warm, straight from the air fryer, with their irresistible aroma tempting your taste buds.
