5 tbsp honey
1 small shallot
5 tbsp whipped cream cheese
5 pinches of dried thyme
Crushed black pepper to taste
1 egg for egg wash
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
Cut thawed puff pastry into 5 equal rectangles, set aside.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of honey on parchment paper to make 5 rectangle areas. Arrange 3-4 slices of shallots overtop of the honey and top with bacon bits, then top with 1 tablespoon of the whipped cream cheese into the center of each rectangle. Sprinkle thyme and black pepper over the filling and cover with a puff pastry rectangle. Use a fork to crimp the edges to adhere to parchment.
Brush the tops with egg wash and bake for 10 to 14 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Cool for about 2 minutes before flipping over with a large spatula.
