3 large eggs, scrambled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

PREPARATION:
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. - 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. - 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. - 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. - 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. - Bake
Bake the pinwheels in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Serving Suggestions
Fresh Fruit Salad: A light and refreshing complement to the savory pinwheels.
Roasted Potatoes: Crispy breakfast potatoes make a hearty side.
Dips: Pair with a creamy avocado dip, tangy tomato salsa, or hollandaise sauce for added flavor.
Tips for Success
Don’t Overfill: Too much filling can make the pinwheels difficult to roll or cause them to burst during baking.
Keep the Pastry Cool: Work quickly with the puff pastry to prevent it from becoming too warm and sticky.
Customizable Fillings: Experiment with ingredients like diced ham, spinach, or mushrooms for a personalized touch.
Storage and Reheating
Refrigerate: Store leftover pinwheels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat: Warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C)for 5–7 minutes, or microwave for 30 seconds.
Freeze: Freeze unbaked pinwheels on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding an extra 5 minutes to the cooking time.
