Thyme Sticks with Bacon

INSTRUCTIONS

• 1
  Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius - top and bottom heat.

  Roll out the puff pastry on baking paper into 2 equal rectangles of approximately 20x30 cm. Beat the egg with thyme leaves and pepper. Brush the rolled-out dough and sprinkle with cheddar.
• 3
  Cover with another piece of baking paper and press the cheese into the dough. You can use a rolling pin or just your palms. Carefully peel off the paper and cut the dough into 2 cm wide strips using a rotary or regular knife.

  Cut each slice of bacon lengthwise in half. Place bacon on each strip, fold the dough strip with bacon so that the brushed part with bacon is on the outside.

  Twist each strip into a spiral and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Leave enough space around the sticks. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes until crispy.
