Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 3 tablespoons Whole milk
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 strips Cooked bacon (crumbled)
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 piece Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 teaspoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and scramble the egg mixture until just set (slightly undercooked is fine as they will finish cooking in the oven). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

Unroll the puff pastry sheets onto a floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal rectangles to form 8 pieces total.

Step 5

Spoon a portion of scrambled eggs onto one side of each rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.

Step 6

Fold the empty half of the puff pastry over the filling, sealing the edges by pressing them together with a fork. Use a sharp knife to make 2 small slits in the top for steam to escape.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each strudel with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 8

Transfer the strudels to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Optionally, dust the tops with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar for a festive appearance and garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of green.
