• Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Eggs:
• Scramble 2 eggs in a pan with a pinch of salt and pepper. Let them cool slightly.
3. Assemble the Pinwheels:
• Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
• Evenly spread the scrambled eggs over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border.
• Sprinkle the shredded cheese and bacon over the eggs. Add green onions if desired.
4. Roll and Slice:
• Carefully roll the puff pastry into a tight log, starting from one edge.
• Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
5. Egg Wash:
• Place the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
• Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the tops of the pinwheels for a golden finish.
6. Bake:
• Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.
7. Serve:
