Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Step 2: Scramble the Eggs
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and scramble the eggs until just set (they’ll finish cooking in the oven). Set aside.
Step 3: Assemble the Pinwheels
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle (about 10×12 inches).
- Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and shredded cheese over the eggs.
Step 4: Roll and Slice
- Starting from the longer side, tightly roll the pastry into a log.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
- Place the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.
- Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the tops of the pinwheels for a golden finish.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- Let the pinwheels cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with chopped chives or parsley for a fresh touch.
Tips for Success
- Thaw the Puff Pastry: Make sure your puff pastry is fully thawed but still cold for easy handling.
- Don’t Overcook the Eggs: Scramble them just until they’re set to avoid dry pinwheels.
- Customize It: Add sautéed veggies, swap bacon for sausage, or use your favorite cheese.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the pinwheels the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake them fresh in the morning!
