9 March 2018

If there’s one thing Veuve Clicquot is known for (well, other than delicious champagne, of course!) it’s our playful twist in perspective. We believe that life is about joyful surprises and audacious experiences. So come party with us! Get your twist on with these bacon twists and nibbles platter. These crispy, sweet and savory morsels are the perfect accompaniment to the strength and aromatic intensity our renowned rosé champagne, Veuve Clicquot Rosé. Get twisting!

For the bacon twists you’ll need:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry
- 1 egg, beaten
- 40 grams of grated parmesan cheese
- About 20 slices of bacon (300 grams total)
- Salt
- Pepper
- Maple syrup for brushing

To assemble the nibbles platter:
Berries
Ham
Dried sausage
Grapes
Figs
Radishes
1 or 2 cheeses (no blue cheese!)
Macadamia and brazil nuts
Whole pomegranate (for decoration)
Dried apricots

- Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F
- Place the puff pastry on your work area. Brush it with the beaten egg. Spread the parmesan, salt and pepper.
- Dust a rolling pin with a bit of flour. Then roll out the dough a bit so that the cheese gets pressed into the dough.
- Cut the dough into strips about 2cm wide. Fold in half and pinch the ends together to seal them. Then twist each piece. Wrap a slice of bacon on each twist.
- Place the twists on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake them for 30 minutes on the lowest oven rack.
- Brush the twists with maple syrup and bake for an extra 8 to 10 minutes.

Take them out of the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. In the meantime, assemble your nibbles platter, and enjoy!
