When I think about breakfast foods, there’s not a lot that competes with good old eggs and bacon. That is unless, of course, you are a miniature food. They’re just so cute! Mini quiches, mini muffins, mini cinnamon rolls, mini egg tarts; I just want to jump in a pool full of these cute little bites. I hope this recipe adds to the roster of cute little miniatures inspired by my favorite: eggs and bacon. It’s all wrapped up in a pretty little puff pastry package, then baked in a buttery flaky crust. Say THAT three times in a row!

Making these for a party or brunch at a friend’s will be an absolute hit. What other breakfast foods do you know that come in a cute little appetizer-like bite?

You can start with all the run-of-the-mill ingredients you probably have in the fridge. Frozen puff pastry thaws in twenty minutes sitting directly on your countertop, which gives you just enough time to cook your eggs and crisp up your bacon.

Take a third of your grated cheddar cheese and fold it into your eggs to create creamy scrambled eggs as the base for your pinwheel. Each pinwheel contains just about half an egg each.

Use a serrated knife to cut the ends of each rolled-up breakfast pastry, then cut into three even little pinwheels. How CUTE do these babies look?

Arrange your puff pastry on a sheet tray before brushing it with garlic butter, then topping it with a sprinkle-dinkle of cheddar cheese for good measure. Watch these cuties crisp up and expand the oven. Puff pastry is layered with butter, so they will puff up and develop those buttery-flaky layers.

I like to serve these as an appetizer with some sort of dipping sauce, especially jalapeno pepper jelly. I’m sure ketchup, sriracha, or even a spicy mayo would be delicious too.

I made these pinwheels for a friends brunch and we were snacking on these for hours. Let me know if you have as much fun with these as I had creating them. I did test these with crescent rolls as well, but we voted at brunch that puff pastry was king.
