I always loved a good Greggs pasty for a treat when we’re out and about but it’s only recently that I’ve discovered the delights of a Greggs cheese and bacon wrap – they’re so delicious but even better than that, they’re so easy to make yourself at home!
How to make your homemade version of a Greggs cheese and bacon wrap….
You need:
Puff Pastry
2 rashers of bacon per wrap that you plan to make.
Grated cheese, depending on how cheesey you want your wrap to be but I use around 30g of cheese per wrap.
Beaten egg or milk to brush the pastry with.
- First of all, you need puff pastry to make this recipe. I buy ready made and today’s is ready rolled too courtesy of the reduced section in Morrisons. I’ve also had great success using the packets of pastry mix that you can find with the packets of cake mix in the baking aisle at the supermarket for about 50p.
- You need to roll your puff pastry out into squares, the size of which are dependent on how big you want your wraps to be but mine are around 15-20 cm squares.
- Next you need to lay your bacon on top of the pastry squares, diagonally through the centre from corner to corner. You can use raw bacon as long as you cut the fatty bits off but I prefer to cook mine a little bit first as I like my bacon quite crispy. Alternatively, you can just use ham leftovers like I did today.
- Sprinkle your grated cheese on top of the bacon (or ham).
- Bring in the corners to the centre and gently push them together on top of the bacon and cheese. I know I don’t need to say this but it’s the corners that don’t have any bacon on them that you need to bring to the centre.
- Brush any exposed pastry with your egg or milk mix.
- Bake in the over for around 20 minutes at 200 c.
- It’s cooked when it looks exactly like a Greggs cheese and bacon wrap.
There you have it, your own (much cheaper) version of the Greggs cheese and bacon wrap. Gorgeous with mash and beans!
Enjoy.

Thanks so much this really will help us.
Cooked these this morning. Yummy. Couple of mine burst open, think I over filled them but still lovely. Will be doing them again.
Just made a batch, but added sausages as well, I'm amazed,turned out really well,! Won't last long with my grown up boys, think this will be a family favourite, Thank you so much , always short of ideas, keep them coming, x
That is very easy to make and looks delicious too!
I love puff pastry it really is great for a simple tea! x
That looks and sounds scummy
I prefer the look of your version to the ones Greggs sell and I bet yours would be hot rather than luke warm
What a wonderful idea, I would like a veggie version of this by changing the bacon to mushrooms or tomato??
I always think these look tasty in the bakers, but I am veggie so cant eat them- hadnt thought of making them at home – will be trying it out with some quorn fake-on!
I've got all the ingredients for this in my kitchen. I was wondering what else to make with some cooking bacon I bought for 35p!
Your version looks scrumptious! I love Greggs tuna crunch baguette
Sylvia @ Happiness is homemade
Oh wow this does look amazing! I must look away though as I'm on a diet! xxx Thou Shalt Not Covet
My hubby would love this so much not for me as I am a veggie.
That looks heavenly! I need to make some.
I have NEVER had a cheese and bacon wrap and I call myself a Northern bird. The boys love the chese and bean melt, so can you make a fake one please!
I've got some serious food envy going on right now!
Oh yummy! I really wish I wan't on a diet now! x
*wasn't!
Oooh that sounds delicious – guess what we are having for Sunday breakfast
I knew I shouldn't have read this until after breakfast! Now you've made me hungry for one of these!
These look so delicious! Im definitely going to have to try them so thank you for your post!

Oh my *dribbles* Right… Looks like I've gotta go and buy some puff pastry then!!
Right – that's one weekend meal sorted out – thank you!
Oh fantastic. Off to pin and add to my meal planning ideas. Thank you.
Oh nom nom! This looks like the sort of thing I could make just before a walk in the woods to take with me!
Hm…yum! i would tell you to send me some in post but i am a long way from you
That looks so delicious right now. I used to work next door to a Greggs and oh how I miss this stuff. Never thought of making my own! So glad you bought the pastry though LOL or I would never even have considered giving it a go.
Ooo I need this in my life! That's tomorrow's lunch sorted then with a bit of salad. Thanks!
Mouth-watering! I tried cooking this but it doesn't look good as this one. Cheese and Bacon wrap is really an all time favorite.
your version looks scrummy I will be trying these out especially for days out . having 4 kids and two adults to feed on days out we don't usually bye food out but take our own. I have not had a greggs bacon and cheese for goodness knows how long. I think they will be a huge hit with my kids especially if I keep them warm for the colder days out. thanks for sharing.
