Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach, sautéed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the pinwheels.
- Prepare puff pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases and make it even.
- Mix egg filling: In a bowl, whisk together the 4 eggs, 1/4 cup milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Assemble pinwheels: Spread the egg mixture evenly over the rolled-out puff pastry. Then sprinkle crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled feta cheese, and sautéed spinach evenly on top.
- Roll puff pastry: Carefully roll the puff pastry from one long side into a tight log shape, ensuring the filling stays inside.
- Cut pinwheels: Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 12 equal pieces. Place each piece cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
- Egg wash: Brush the tops of each pinwheel with the beaten egg to help them achieve a beautiful golden color while baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute bacon with turkey bacon or omit for a vegetarian version (adjust cheese accordingly).
- Ensure the puff pastry is well thawed and cold for easier rolling.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or herbs like dill or oregano to the egg mixture.
- To reheat, warm pinwheels in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to maintain crispiness.
- Use fresh, high-quality cheeses for the best flavor combination.
