Where to find ingredients
Bacon can be sourced from any local butcher or supermarket deli counter. For the cheddar, look for a standard tasty or mature cheddar in the dairy aisle of your local grocery store.
Preparation method
- Place the diced bacon in a frying pan over medium heat and cook until it is beautifully golden and crispy.
- Remove the bacon from the pan and pat dry with paper towel to drain off excess rendered fat.
- Combine the crispy bacon with the cheddar cheese in a mixing bowl or the warm pan used previously.
- Stir the mixture gently until the heat of the bacon begins to melt the cheddar and the two ingredients are well combined.
- Use the mixture while still warm to fill your pastry parcels before frying.
