Baked Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Pinwheels are a delightful twist on the classic breakfast trio.

Preheat your oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
\nOn a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth any creases.
\nIn a bowl, whisk together the scrambled eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
\nSpread the scrambled eggs evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
\nSprinkle the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs.
\nRoll the pastry tightly into a log, starting from one of the longer sides.
\nSlice the log into 1-inch thick pinwheels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
\nBrush the tops of the pinwheels with the beaten egg to ensure a golden finish.
\nBake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
\nAllow to cool slightly before serving, garnished with chopped chives if desired.
\nFor a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and add saut\u00e9ed spinach or mushrooms. You can also experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the scrambled eggs. For a more indulgent option, consider adding a layer of cream cheese before rolling the pastry.<\/p>\n
