Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry
- 6 ounces (170 grams) bacon, small diced
- 8 large eggs, beaten
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Flavor Enhancers:
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
- 2 teaspoons sriracha or ketchup
Seasonings:
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Jalapeno pepper jelly, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by positioning the rack centrally and heating to 400°F (200°C). Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove frozen puff pastry and allow to soften at room temperature for approximately 10 minutes, turning midway through thawing process.
- Create a fragrant garlic butter by thoroughly blending softened butter with minced garlic until smooth and well-incorporated.
- Render bacon in a medium skillet over moderate heat until achieving a crispy texture. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, preserving a tablespoon of rendered fat in the pan.
- Lower skillet temperature and introduce beaten eggs into the reserved bacon fat. Season with salt and pepper. As eggs begin to set, fold in shredded cheese. Cook until barely set but maintaining a creamy consistency, then remove from heat.
- Unfold pastry sheets and divide each into four equal rectangular sections, totaling eight pieces. Arrange rectangles on prepared baking sheet.
- Distribute scrambled egg mixture centrally along each rectangle, maintaining a small border at the edges. Generously layer crispy bacon fragments, drizzle with sriracha or ketchup, and sprinkle additional cheese.
- Carefully roll each rectangle around the filling, ensuring the seam remains underneath. Trim irregular edges and slice each log into three uniform segments.
- Position pinwheels cut-side downward on the baking sheet, separating by two inches. Generously brush with garlic butter and dust with remaining cheese.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until pastry achieves a deep golden hue and appears beautifully puffed.
- Allow pinwheels to rest briefly before transferring to a serving platter. Accompany with jalapeño pepper jelly or preferred condiment for enhanced flavor.
Notes
- Customize the filling by swapping bacon for vegetarian alternatives like sautéed mushrooms or spinach for a meat-free version.
- Ensure puff pastry is completely thawed but still cold to maintain its flaky texture and prevent sticking during rolling.
- Prevent soggy pastries by allowing scrambled eggs to cool slightly and drain excess moisture before filling the dough.
- Make ahead by preparing pinwheels and refrigerating unbake
