    • Mayonnaise: 2 tablespoons
    • French Mustard: 1 tablespoon
    • Bacon: 200 grams (about 7 oz), chopped
    • Green Onions: 2-3 stalks, chopped
    • Cheese: 200 grams (about 7 oz), grated (Cheddar or your favorite cheese)
    • Salt: to taste
    • Black Pepper: to taste
    • Egg: 1, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:

  • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. If necessary, cut it into a size that fits your baking tray.

3. Add the Sauces:

    • Spread ketchup, mayonnaise, and French mustard evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.

4. Add the Toppings:

    • Sprinkle the chopped bacon evenly over the sauced puff pastry.
    • Add the chopped green onions, followed by a generous layer of grated cheese.
  • Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

5. Seal and Brush:

    • Fold over the edges of the pastry slightly to create a border. Brush the edges with the beaten egg to help them brown beautifully.

6. Bake:

    • Place the prepared pastry on the lined baking tray.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
