Puff Pastry Appetizers

I used one ready rolled puff pastry sheet and got 16 pieces out of it which is a pretty good number and definitely should feed a few people. We had this instead of our dinner and to be honest we were starving so you can only imagine that these were gone within minutes. Because, first there is bacon in them so they MUST taste yummy! Second, if you throw in a few more simple yet delicious ingredients you just make it taste even yummier.

So yes, it took us literally about 5 minutes to finish them and there were hardly any crumbs left. And I tell you something, I love appetizers but puff pastry appetizers are quite new to me.

Not to my taste buds though because you know I love these Cheddar and Ham Quiche Cups or these Lemon Cream Turnovers are so tasty for a super easy breakfast! or how about  Cinnamon Twists? Those are so sweet and perfect for brunch or adding a sweet treat to your breakfast.

But an appetizer? Yes!!!

Puff Pastry Pinwheels

Now are you wondering how these puff pastry bacon pinwheels are made? The prep takes less than 5 minutes. I literally timed myself and was done in four minutes. Guys! 4 minutes is a pretty good time for prep, isn’t it? Puff pastry sheet + ketchup + bacon + cheddar + sweet chili sauce rolled like a Swiss roll & sliced.

Then all you have to do is throw them in the oven and wait. Wait until they look perfect. I suggest you check what your puff pastry packaging says about the baking time. This may vary on what way you bake the pastry, how it’s filled, how thick the individual pieces are, what oven you have, etc. Yes, there are so many things to consider. But I suggest you check the packaging and follow it but try to check about 5 minutes before the recommended time to see how they are doing in the oven. That’s what I do. Just to be on the safe side. Mine usually take 20 minutes. Let me walk you thru the steps:

How to make Puff Pastry Pinwheels

1. preheat the oven
2. unfold puff pastry sheet and spread with ketchup
3. arrange bacon slices so they cover the whole pastry sheet
4. sprinkle cheese over and drizzle with sweet chili sauce.
5. roll the pastry sheet (like a Swiss roll). Slice them into 1/2 inch slices
6. transfer the slices to a baking tray lined with parchment paper
7. bake for 20 minutes until golden brown and the pastry has puffed

And that’s about it. A 5-minute preparation + 20 minutes passive time that you can spend with your kids! Isn’t it great?

Is puff pastry and phyllo dough the same thing?

No they are two different types of dough. Making puff pastry is a ton of work! I purchase it at the store, you’ll find it in the frozen food section.
