- Place remaining circle of puff pastry on top. Crimp edge to seal.
- Place a 2" diameter glass in the center of the circle. Make slices up to the edge of the glass. First cut into quarters then cut each quarter into 4ths.
- Place a piece of bacon on each wedge. Twist adjacent sections in the opposite directions, twisting 2-3 times. Continue with remaining sections.
