Instructions

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 Fahrenheit, 170 fan oven).
In a pan set over a medium heat, fry the bacon rashes in batches until cooked through.
Remove them from the heat, and transfer onto a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb some of the grease.
Cut the puff pastry into 6 squares, and place a bacon rash in the middle of each square.
Top with 1-2 tablespoons of cheese, and fold over.
Beat the egg well, then brush each turnover well.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden.

Notes

If you want more delicate bites to serve at a party, you can chop up the bacon, and cut the pastry into smaller squares, so you will end up with more bites, but obviously smaller ones.
Using a whole egg just to brush the pastry does seem like a waste, as you only need a little bit of it, but I find that the pastry doesn't get the same vibrant golden colour without the egg wash.
Instead it's a rather pale colour that it's ok if you serve the bites for family only, but for party food, I'd definitely recommend brushing them with egg before baking.
