Brown Sugar Bacon Palmiers

These sweet and savory baked palmiers with brown sugar and crisp bacon are perfect for brunch or coffee treats. They are quick to make, flaky, and irresistible. This recipe was a runner-up in a Taste of Home contest.

I hope you are enjoying Brunch Week as much as I am! When my supply of Dixie Crystals light brown sugar arrived, I started a list of possible things to bake.  We are big fans of bacon coated with brown sugar and baked, and I wanted to capture that flavor and combine it with a favorite dessert of ours, palmiers or elephant ears. 

All you need is a box of puff pastry from the freezer section, light brown sugar, and cooked bacon.   Defrost the puff according to the package directions.  Gently roll it out so that it's longer than it is wide. Top it with the light brown sugar, then sprinkle on some chopped bacon.

Roll the ends in from the short sides, keeping it as tight as possible, and meeting in the middle. Place the roll on a cookie sheet and then repeat with the other piece of puff. Place them into the fridge for an hour to chill. 

Using a sharp knife, slice the rolls into 1/2" sections.  I'm a bit type A, so I use a ruler :) Place them onto parchment lined cookie sheets and bake them in a preheated 400 degree oven for about 14 minutes.

I don't often say this, but these would be great without the bacon too.  Sweet, buttery and delicious, they go great with a cup of coffee or tea.
