Bacon and Cheddar Sunrise Breakfast Puffs

Not that I want to bring my Mother’s Day brunch gift into my work, but I couldn’t resist. This is what I asked for for Mother’s Day. A special brunch and a sweet. The sweet was a recipe that called for chocolate chip cookies sandwiched with buttercream. So that was highly promising. And then brunch was this! These amazing breakfast puffs! They don’t have a lot of ingredients, and the payout is so great! Puff pastry is a pretty magical ingredient. On New Year’s Eve, I cut up hot dogs, wrapped them in puff pastry, brushed egg whites on them, slapped them with everything bagel seasoning, and then baked them. They were a hot ticket! And so is this recipe:
