Storage
- Eat warm or cold or store in the fridge for up to a couple of days. Reheat if you wish, until cooked through.
- For finger snacks and party-sized portions, cut the Puff Pastry into smaller squares and add a smaller amount of filling.
- As an alternative filling, try spreading the pastry with Mustard or Red Pesto.
For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and replace it with slices of baby tomatoes or peppers.
