Ingredients

1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 cup shredded Gouda cheese
3 ounces bacon, cooked and cubed
¼ cup chopped sundried tomatoes
2 tablespoons sliced black olives
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon mixed herbs

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Roll out puff pastry over parchment paper. Spread Gouda cheese, bacon, sundried tomatoes, and olives in a vertical strip down the center of the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border on the top and bottom. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Cut 1-inch strips toward the filling diagonally, along the side of the pastry, stopping before filling. Fold strips diagonally, alternating left and right, over the filling, creating the braid. Tuck the ends underneath and carefully slide the pastry with the parchment onto a baking sheet. Lightly brush with beaten egg; sprinkle herbs on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, about 35 minutes.
