Thyme Sticks with Bacon

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees - top and bottom heat.

Roll out the puff pastry on baking paper into 2 identical rectangles, approximately 20x30 cm. Whisk the egg with thyme leaves and pepper. Spread over the rolled-out dough and sprinkle with cheddar.

Cover with a second sheet of baking paper and press the cheese into the dough. You can use a rolling pin, or your palms will suffice. Carefully peel off the paper and cut the dough into 2 cm wide strips with a rotary or classic knife.
