Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- Spritz low-calorie cooking spray
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 bacon strips
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 2 tbsp. sesame seeds
- Good drizzle sugar-free sauce of choice to serve
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F.
Spray a baking tray with low-calorie cooking spray and then unroll the pastry sheet onto the tray.
Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese over the pastry, then arrange the bacon strips on top of the cheese, leaving a small gap of pastry between each one so that they’re not overlapping.
Slice the pastry into strips, in between each bacon strip.
Twist each of the pastry strips evenly, with the bacon and cheese inside. This can be tricky, but they don’t have to be too neat.
Brush any visible pastry on the top with the beaten egg and then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown, then serve and enjoy. They’re great dunked into sugar-free BBQ sauce.
