     Just last week I was talking to my friend Anais on a train ride home after a work event. She came up with a wonderful idea to tell the other an ingredient to make something with and we had one week to do it. I told her to make something with zucchini (can't wait to find out what it is!) and she told me to make a savory dish with mango.

     Honestly, I had been feeling like I was at sort of at a standstill with post ideas. But this little exercise was just what I needed to get my creative juices flowing again! And let me tell you...I made a savory mango dish that I will certainly be making again.

     Seriously I cannot emphasize how amazingly delicious these pastry cups are. The perfect amounts of savory and sweet come together beautifully, complimented by the herbacious rosemary and buttery pastry. I will definitely make these again (and again, and again...) to not only enjoy myself but to share with everyone I know! EVERYONE must try this. Everyone. 

     If anything, I'll have to make it again soon for Anais to try - between me, my boyfriend, and my roommate, we devoured the first batch. And guess what? We all have 0% shame.

Savory Mango and Bacon Pastry Cups
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: Combined 45 minutes
Servings: Makes 24 pastry cups


You Will Need:
  • 5 slices hickory smoked bacon
  • 2 TBS olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 mango, finely diced
  • 1 large sprig rosemary, stripped and chopped
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 package puff pastry cups

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place bacon strips on sheet. Cook for 20 minutes, until shrunk nearly a third in size and starting to crisp. Pat dry of oils with a paper towel.
  2. Meanwhile, combine olive oil, garlic, and onion in a medium sauté pan and heat on very low/low, stirring occasionally, until lightly caramelized, about 20 minutes. 
  3. Once bacon is out of the oven, turn the oven up to 400 degrees. Bake pastry cups according to package instructions.
  4. Crumble bacon by dicing with a knife or with your hands. Add bacon, mango, rosemary, salt, and pepper to the onion and garlic mixture. Stir to mix thoroughly. 
  5. Spoon mango filling evenly into each pastry cup. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
