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
- Bake the pinwheels in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
7. Serve
- Let the pinwheels cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm alongside your favorite sides!
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.
