Bacon Jampanadas are the happiest accident we ever created. These were created because we had a lot of extra pie dough from making the pop-tarts, so we started searching the kitchen for other things to use so we don’t waste. I know, us and these damn pop-tarts! We can’t help that food-pockets are essential stoner food.

Anyway, an amazing idea presented itself, BACON JAM! Yes, smokey, sweet, savory goodness in a cute little portable pocket form. It’s like Polly Pocket, but Piggy Pocket, haha. Also, the name “Bacon Jampanadas” was an inspiration that was stumbled upon while eating these stoned.

Bacon Jampanadas

 Ingredients

• 1 recipe for Bacon Jam
• 2 premade rolls of pie dough
• 1 egg
• salt
• pepper

*Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Step 1: Roll the pie dough out and flatten it a little with a rolling pin (or wine bottle if you are crafty like that).

Step 2: Using a biscuit cutter (or as seen below, a metal lid to a jar) cut out as many circles as you can. We managed 8.

Step 3: Fill the circles with about teaspoon of bacon jam.

Step 4: Close the jampanadas and using a fork press both sides together. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 5: Pierce the top with jampenadas with a fork so steam can escape while cooking.

Step 6: Mix the egg with a splash of water and brush the jampenadas with the egg wash. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 7: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until gold brown and delicious.

Step 8: Wait 10 minutes and then dig in!

Just putting together this post is making me hungry, these are just too good.
