A bit of a twist on the usual sweet Danish pastries, these are my savoury Danish pastries using Danish Bacon and Danish Blue cheese - a very tasty combination! Use ready made puff pastry for speed and ease. Serve these for brunch or a light lunch with salads and pickles. These are also great to take on a picnic. Ingredients:
12 ounces danish back bacon, trimmed and diced |
4 ounces danish blue cheese, crumbled |
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped |
2 teaspoons oil |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
1 teaspoon english mustard |
1 -2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1 tablespoon sour cream |
12 ounces premade puff pastry |
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt |
black pepper |
1 beaten egg, to glaze |
Directions:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 400F, Gas Mark 6, 200°C.
2. Heat the oil , add the onion and saute until lightly coloured and soft.
3. Add the chopped bacon and cook gently, stirring occasionally.
4. When the bacon is cooked & crispy, add the paprika, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper and salts.
5. Allow to cool a little then add the sour cream and crumbled blue cheese.
6. Season to taste.
7. Roll out the pastry thinly and cut into 8 squares.
8. Put a spoonful of the mixture onto each square,and bring two corners over the top to meet each other and make a diamond shape - covering most of the filling.
9. Put on a greased and lined baking tray, glaze with the beaten egg and bake in the pre-heated oven for about 20- 25 minutes, or until pastry is puffed up and golden brown.
