Baked Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Pinwheels

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
• 4 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tbsp milk or cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
• 2 tbsp chopped chives (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp butter or oil (for cooking eggs)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle (about 10×12 inches).
2. Cook the Eggs:
   • Whisk together the 3 eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper.
   • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with butter or oil.
   • Scramble the eggs until just set but still soft. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Assemble the Pinwheels:
   • Sprinkle the scrambled eggs evenly over the puff pastry.
   • Add the crumbled bacon and shredded cheese on top.
   • Sprinkle with chives if using.
4. Roll and Slice:
   • Roll the puff pastry tightly into a log (starting from the longer side).
   • Slice into 1-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife.
5. Bake:
   • Place the pinwheels on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.
   • Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash for a golden finish.
   • Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
6. Serve:
   • Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!

Tips:

• Substitute sausage, ham, or veggies for the bacon for variety.
• These can be made ahead and frozen; just bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
