PREPARATION:

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

1. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle, about 12×10 inches.
2. Set it aside while you prepare the filling.

3. Cook the Filling

1. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk.
2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and scramble the eggs until just set. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces.

4. Assemble the Pinwheels

1. Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
2. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the eggs.
3. Top with the shredded cheddar cheese for a gooey, cheesy finish.

5. Roll and Slice

1. Starting from the longer side, tightly roll up the puff pastry into a log.
2. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 1-inch thick rounds.
3. 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.

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

1. Don’t Overfill: Too much filling can make the pinwheels difficult to roll or cause them to burst during baking.
2. Keep the Pastry Cool: Work quickly with the puff pastry to prevent it from becoming too warm and sticky.
3. 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.
