🛒 Ingredients
🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take the puff pastry out of the fridge.

  2. 2

    Unroll the pastry. Spread the mustard evenly. Distribute the bacon (and cheese if used). Pepper.

  3. 3

    Fold the pastry lengthwise. Lightly flatten with a rolling pin. Cut into 1.5-2 cm wide strips.

  4. 4

    Twist each strip 3-4 times to form a twist. Place on the baking sheet, spacing them apart.

  5. 5

    Mix the egg yolk with milk. Brush the twists. Sprinkle with seeds if desired.

  6. 6

    Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy. Let cool on a rack for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips & Tricks
  • Use a good quality butter puff pastry for best results.
  • For lardons, pre-sear them in a pan and drain well.
  • Don't twist the strips too tightly, leave room to puff up.
  • Bake in the middle of the oven for even color.
  • Serve with a dip (Greek yogurt, mustard, dill) to balance flavors.
  • Variations: replace bacon with caramelized onions (vegetarian), smoked salmon, or add herbs.
