INGREDIENTS
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 of a 17.3-ounce package Puff Pastry Sheets(1 sheet), thawed
- 9 slices uncooked bacon
- 3 tablespoons grated or shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
DIRECTIONS
- Heat the oven to 400�F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Roll the pastry sheet into a 14x10-inch rectangle. Cut the pastry sheet in half lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into 18 (3/4-inch wide) strips, making 36.
- Cut the bacon slices in half lengthwise, then crosswise, making 36 (about 5x1/2-inch) strips.
- Place 1 bacon strip on each pastry strip. Twist the pastry and bacon together and place on the baking sheets, pressing down the ends. Stir the cheese and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the pastries with the cheese mixture.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and the bacon is crisp. Let the pastries cool on the baking sheets on wire racks for 5 minutes.
