Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese softened
1/2 pound bacon chopped
1 teaspoon Ranch seasoning or to taste
1 sheet Puff Pastry half a package, thawed
3/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded
green onions to garnish

Instructions

Set the cream cheese on the counter to soften for at least 1/2 hour.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon until crisp. You can crumble it after you cook it or chop it before. You want the pieces to be pretty small.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Add ranch seasoning to the cream cheese. Add the bacon and stir well. Taste it, and add more ranch if you want.
Unfold the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten it out a bit. You want it to be about 10 inches square.
Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 36 squares (see photos).
Coat a mini muffin pan with nonstick spray. Add two squares of dough to each muffin hole, making sure that the squares are offset (see photos)
Use two spoons to fill each puff with the cream cheese mixture. You can be pretty generous in filling them.
Top with cheddar cheese.
Bake at 400 for 9-12 minutes, or until the cheese barely starts to brown.
