Preparation

Step 1

Cook the bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat until the fat has rendered and the bacon
starts to get crispy. Remove bacon and set aside. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the grease in the pan.
2. Add the onions to the pan and sauté until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and
sauté until fragrant, about a minute. Add the vinegar and deglaze the pan.
3. Add the bacon, coffee, brown sugar, maple syrup, bourbon, chipotle chilies, cumin and pepper
to the pan. Reduce the heat and simmer until reduced to a syrupy consistency, about
1 to 2 hours.
4. Pulse the mixture in a food processor until the mixture is a bit smoother (not too much or you
will lose the texture of the bacon). Set aside.
5. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
6. Lay out half of the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 8 squares.
7. Place 1 tablespoon of bacon jam on each square. Brush edges with egg wash and fold over
to form a triangle. Gently press edges of triangle with a fork to seal. Repeat with remaining
squares.
8. Move turnovers to a baking sheet. Brush tops with more egg wash and sprinkle about half of
the shredded cheddar cheese over the turnovers.
9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until turnovers are golden brown. While turnovers are baking,
repeat process with remaining puff pastry and bacon jam to make 8 more turnovers. Allow
turnovers to cool slightly before serving.
