    Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork. Set aside.

    Sprinkle the work surface with the flour. Unfold 1 pastry sheet on the floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 9x12-inch rectangle. Cut the rectangle into 12 (3-inch) squares. Repeat with the remaining pastry sheet, making 24 squares in all.

    Stir the cream cheese, shredded sheese, garlic and bacon in a medium bowl.
  • 5
    Spoon about 2 teaspoons cheese mixture into each pepper half.
  • 6
    Place 1 filled pepper half diagonally, cheese-side down onto each pastry square. Fold the pastry up over the peper and press firmly to seal.
  • 7
    Brush the filled pastries with the egg mixture. Sprinkle with additional shredded cheese, if desired.
  • 8
    Place the pastries onto 2 baking sheets.
