My daughter has made these for our Thanksgiving & Christmas celebrations. They're a tasty appetizer. I'm posting this because I almost lost this recipe once already and need a safe place to store it! (From the America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook)

Lay pastry on a sheet of parchment paper and sprinkle the cheese, bacon, and pepper on it. Top with another sheet of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to press it all into the dough. Remove top piece of parchment.
