The Best Way to Cook Bacon

I love bacon but hate the mess it makes when I cook it on the stove.

Recently, I discovered that the best way to cook bacon is in the oven. There is no mess, and I can prep other ingredients while the bacon is cooking.

To cook back in the oven, preheat the oven to 400°. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray for easy cleanup. Lay the strips of bacon on the pan and bake them for about 12 minutes. For even browning, turn the strips of bacon over halfway during baking.

Try this method the next time you need to cook bacon. I think you will agree that it is the best way to prepare it.

Easy Ingredient List

• Puff pastry sheets-purchasing frozen puff pastry cuts the prep time by 95%. You can find puff pastry with desserts in the frozen food section of your grocery store. Make sure t t you purchase puff pastry sheets, not shells.
• Eggs are the main ingredient in these egg and puff pastry bundles.
• Bacon-use your favorite bacon. I like an apple or smoked bacon because it adds great flavor.
• Cheese-sharp or mild cheddar cheese or Colby jack cheese are delicious in this recipe. However, use your favorite cheese.
• Flour-use the flour to lightly dust the cutting board's surface where you roll out the pastry. It prevents the pastry from sticking when rolling it out to make the squares.
• Butter-you can use salted or unsalted butter.
• Salt and pepper are used to season the eggs.

How to Make the Egg and Puff Pastry Bundles

1. Spray sheet pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment. Place the bacon n a sheet pan.
2. Cook in 400°F oven until crisp.
3. Slice or crumble bacon. Set aside.
4. While the bacon is cooking, grate the cheese.

5. Whisk the eggs, salt, and pepper until combined.
6. Melt butter in a non-stick skillet and add the eggs and crumbled bacon. Cook the eggs un l almost set. They should look slightly wet.
7. Lightly flour a cutting board. Roll out the puff pastry to make a 12-inch by 12-inch square.
8. Cut the pastry into 9 4-inch by 4-inch squares. Score the pastry in 4-inch increments on all sides of the pastry to use as guides when cutting the squares.

9. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the egg mixture diagonally on the squares.
10. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese on the egg.
11. Make an egg wash by whisking the egg and water together.
12. Lift one corner of the dough and fold it over the egg & cheese mixture. Brush the dough with egg wash, then fold the opposite corner to make a bundle. Press to seal. Brush the entire bundle with egg wash. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, everything bagel seasoning or grated parmesan cheese.

13. Bake until golden brown.

Enjoy!
