Ingredients
- 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough or puff pastry
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese blend)
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter (for scrambling eggs)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: chopped green onions or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces. Set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a skillet, pour in the eggs, and cook until just set. Remove from heat.
- Unroll the crescent dough or puff pastry into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Press seams together if needed.
- Spread scrambled eggs evenly over the dough, sprinkle bacon pieces, then top with shredded cheese.
- Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 1-inch rounds and place them flat on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with green onions or parsley if desired.
Description
These Baked Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Pinwheels deliver all the flavors of a hearty breakfast in a fun, portable form.
The layers of fluffy eggs, crispy bacon, and melted cheese wrapped in buttery pastry create a perfect balance of texture and taste.
Whether enjoyed hot from the oven or reheated later, they’re satisfying and crowd-pleasing — ideal for meal prep, brunch buffets, or weekend indulgence.
Tips
- Use puff pastry for an extra flaky and buttery texture.
- Add veggies like bell peppers or spinach for color and nutrition.
- Prep ahead: Assemble the roll the night before and bake in the morning.
- Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture — microwaving may make them soggy.
- Try different cheeses like mozzarella, pepper jack, or Swiss for variety.
Correction
- If your pinwheels come out too doughy, bake a few minutes longer until evenly golden.
- If they unroll during baking, chill the sliced pinwheels in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking.
- If the eggs turn rubbery, avoid overcooking them before rolling — slightly soft is best.
Enjoy!
