200g cheddar cheese, shredded or cubed
200g cheddar cheese, shredded or cubed
Where to find ingredients
You can find high-quality bacon and cheddar cheese at local supermarkets or butcher shops. Ensure the cheddar is a good-melting variety. If necessary, mild gouda or a local processed cheddar can serve as a substitute, though sharp cheddar provides the most authentic contrast to the salty bacon.
Preparation method
- In a frying pan, fry the diced bacon over medium heat until it becomes golden and crispy.
- Remove the bacon from the pan and drain away the excess rendered fat.
- In the same pan (or in a mixing bowl), combine the fried bacon with the cheddar cheese.
- Stir continuously until the cheddar begins to soften and meld with the bacon.
- Use the mixture while still warm as a filling for your pastel dough.
