Puff pastry is one of those things that gets lost and forgotten about in the freezer. I forget I have it, buy another box and have to come up with an excuse to use the old. I’ve been wanting to make breadsticks for a while and this felt like the perfect quick and easy solution. Sure, you could make breadsticks from scratch or even pizza dough… and believe me, I will! But this time I wanted to use up what I had on hand and do something super quick.

Sometimes you want bread with dinner but no time to make it or run to the store to buy some. Okay, in my world I always want bread with every meal. Carb lover to the max. I can’t help it. There are so many amazing ways to eat it.

To be completely honest, this is the first time I’ve ever had bacon on bread. If you *gasp* don’t like bacon, then don’t add it. There is only a touch of it in there. Promise. But, add the bacon. It gives that slightly amazing saltiness to the mix.

Quick puff pastry sticks coated with shredded cheese and bacon crumbles, twisted and baked until perfectly puffed and golden.
