Description

Baked Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Spinach Feta Puff Pastry Pinwheels combine flaky, buttery puff pastry with savory scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, cheddar, feta cheese, and tender spinach. Perfect for brunch, breakfast meal prep, or entertaining, these pinwheels are golden-baked to perfection and delicious served warm or at room temperature.

Ingredients

Puff Pastry

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs, divided
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon milk or cream

Fillings

  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked spinach, squeezed dry and chopped

Other

  • Flour for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Roll Puff Pastry: Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to smooth any seams, ensuring an even thickness.
  3. Scramble Eggs: In a small bowl, beat 3 of the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and scramble the eggs until just set but still slightly soft. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Assemble Filling: Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the puff pastry sheet, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Evenly sprinkle the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar, feta cheese, and chopped spinach over the eggs.
  5. Roll and Slice: Starting from one long side, tightly roll the puff pastry into a log shape. Slice the roll into 10 to 12 even pinwheels and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Egg Wash and Bake: Beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon milk or cream and brush this egg wash over the tops of the pinwheels to create a golden finish when baked. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm. These pinwheels are also delicious at room temperature and can be prepared ahead and frozen for later baking.

Notes

  • Serve the pinwheels warm or at room temperature for best flavor and texture.
  • You can freeze unbaked pinwheels and bake them directly from frozen; just add 5 to 7 minutes to the baking time.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit bacon or substitute with a vegetarian alternative.
  • Ensure spinach is well-drained before using to prevent soggy pastry.
