Instructions
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 220°C (428°F). While it heats, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Take one sheet of cold puff pastry and place it on a lightly floured surface. Cut it lengthwise down the middle, then slice into small squares, yielding about 20-24 pieces.
  3. For the savory version, fill half of the pastry squares with smoked bacon and grated cheese. Press down firmly.
  4. On the other half, spread basil pesto and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Leave a small border around the edges.
  5. Season with fresh ground pepper if desired.
  6. Twist each filled square 3-4 times and place them on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until they turn a deep golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
