INGREDIENTS

600 g puff pastry
400 g American wood-smoked bacon
10 sprigs fresh thyme
Black sesame seeds
1 egg
Freshly ground black pepper
150 g grated cheddar

YOU WILL ALSO NEED

Baking paper

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees - top and bottom heat.
2
Roll out the puff pastry on baking paper into 2 identical rectangles, approximately 20x30 cm. Whisk the egg with thyme leaves and pepper. Spread over the rolled-out dough and sprinkle with cheddar.
3
Cover with a second sheet of baking paper and press the cheese into the dough. You can use a rolling pin, or your palms will suffice. Carefully peel off the paper and cut the dough into 2 cm wide strips with a rotary or classic knife.
4
Halve each slice of bacon lengthwise. Place a piece of bacon on each strip of dough. Fold both ends of the dough strip (with the bacon) towards each other so that the brushed side with bacon is facing outwards.
5
Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
6
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.
