Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 1 Puff Pastry Sheet
- 8 Slices of Bacon
- 2 Tbsp Prepared Mustard
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 Tbsp Milk
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees.
- In a small bowl, lightly whisk the egg and milk. Set aside.
- Unfold the pastry sheet on the work surface lightly dusted with flour. Roll the pastry sheet into an 11x10-inch rectangle. Cut the pastry sheet in half lengthwise.
- Take one half and place it in front of you so that the longer side is facing you. Spread 1 tablespoon of mustard on the pastry, leaving the edges mustard-free. Take the rest of the mustard and spread it on the 2nd half.
- Add the bacon strips on top of the mustard, leaving a border all the way around. If the strips are too long, trim the excess off. (See note)
- Top the bacon with the other half of the pastry sheet, mustard-side down.
- Slice the pastry into 10 strips. Take a strip and twist it with your hands about 3 times. Ensure you pinch the edges firmly close. (See note)
- Continue until all strips are twisted and ends are pinched. Brush the top with the egg wash.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and add a few strips. Cook for 6-8 minutes. Continue until all strips are cooked, and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to thaw the puff pastry according to the package instructions.
- You want to use regular-cut bacon; thick-cut bacon will take longer to cook and may burn the pastry.
- You might also need more or fewer strips, depending on their width. Mine were pretty wide.
- Leaving a border after laying the bacon on top of the mustard helps when you are ready to twist. You want to firmly pinch the ends to prevent the puff pastry from separating.
- Make sure you twist tightly. This will prevent it from separating during cooking.
- Depending on the size of your machine, you may need to cook these in a few batches.
- After the egg wash, we added flaky sea salt. However, this would also be good with everything seasoning or poppy seeds.
