Introduction

Baked Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Pinwheels are the ultimate breakfast treat that combines all your morning favorites in one delicious bite.
Imagine flaky crescent dough wrapped around crispy bacon, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melted cheese — all baked to golden perfection.
They’re great for busy mornings, brunch gatherings, or as a grab-and-go meal. Easy to prepare and irresistibly tasty, these pinwheels will quickly become a family favorite.

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

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces. Set aside.
3. 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.
4. Unroll the crescent dough or puff pastry into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Press seams together if needed.
5. Spread scrambled eggs evenly over the dough, sprinkle bacon pieces, then top with shredded cheese.
6. 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.
7. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
8. 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.
