Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 6 slices bacon thin preferred, cut in half lengthwise
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 large egg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large shallow plate, mix together brown sugar, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
  • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Brush the entire surface of both sheets with beaten egg.
  • Sprinkle the cheeses over the pastry. Gently press the cheese down so it sticks, and you can lightly roll over it with a floured rolling pin. Use a pizza cutter to slice the puff pastry into long, one-inch strips. Place half a slice of bacon on each pastry strip.
  • Take one strip, lift it by the end, and twist it three or four times to form a spiral. Roll the twisted strip in the brown sugar and spice mixture.
  • Place the twists on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and the bacon is crisp. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through for even cooking.
  • Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm or at room temperature.
