1. Process first 2 ingredients in a food processor until finely chopped. Add cheeses; pulse until blended.
2. Carefully unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry on a work surface sprinkled with 2 Tbsp. sugar, pressing out seams.

Brush water between rolled sides, and press lightly to seal. Wrap roll in plastic wrap. Repeat procedure with remaining dough, sugar, cream cheese mixture, and bacon. Chill rolls overnight.
