Ingredients (Servings: 4)
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
3 large eggs, scrambled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon milk
Optional Add-Ins
Chopped spinach or kale: For a boost of greens.
Diced bell peppers: Adds color and sweetness.
Green onions or chives: For a mild onion flavor.
Crumbled sausage or ham: For a meatier twist.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle, about 12×10 inches.
Set it aside while you prepare the filling.
3. Cook the Filling
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and scramble the eggs until just set. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces.
4. Assemble the Pinwheels
Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the eggs.
Top with the shredded cheddar cheese for a gooey, cheesy finish
5. Roll and Slice
Starting from the longer side, tightly roll up the puff pastry into a log.
Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 1-inch thick rounds.
Place the pinwheels flat on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake
