You’re going to love these puff pastries. They’re quick to make, and it’s possible you might have all the ingredients you need at hand. If you don’t have the exact ingredients… improvise a bit. One of my instructors said that all chefs are really mad scientists in disguise. When I do a catering job, I often make a smaller version of these, and no matter how many I make… I never seem to make enough. Well, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make turkey, bacon & cheese puff pastry

PREP WORK High Ho, High Ho… It’s off to work we go.

MAKING THE PUFF PASTRIES

Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 400f (205c)
Step 9

Using a pastry brush, brush 1/4 of the mustard on each square.

For each square, layer with 1 slice Swiss cheese, 1 slice turkey, 1 quarter of the chopped bacon, and 1 slice of cheddar.
Step 11

Chef’s Note: There are all kinds of sliced turkeys available. You’ve got regular, smoked, honey, Cajun… you name it. Choose your favorite variety and go for it.
Step 12

Add some kosher salt, and pepper, to taste… or not.
