What Is A Bacon and Cheese Wrap
A bacon and cheese wrap is essentially a delectable parcel of delight, where succulent bacon and gooey cheese are encased in a flaky puff pastry. This enticing combination is reminiscent of a Greggs breakfast bacon and cheese wrap – a popular store-bought favourite.
The crispy exterior of the puff pastry gives way to a satisfying filling of savoury bacon and melted cheese, making it an irresistible meal for breakfast or a snack. The real charm of a homemade bacon and cheese wrap, however, lies in its adaptability.

FAQ’s
Yes, of course, you can. I find mature or extra mature works best.
No, there is no need to cook the bacon as it will cook perfectly in the air fryer.
Allow your leftovers to cool down before storing them. Separate with greaseproof paper and store in an air-tight container or freezer bag if freezing.
Vegetarian options can include avocado, mozzarella, and pesto. Meat lovers can experiment with hoisin tofu, spicy peanut chicken, or shredded rotisserie chicken paired with sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach. If you’re a fan of seafood, a lime shrimp wrap could be a refreshing choice. Alternatively, for a fusion of flavours, try a wrap with halloumi and pesto or turkey, strawberry, and cream cheese.
