Ingredients
- 2 sheets (store-bought or homemade) puff pastry sheets
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup (shredded) cheddar cheese
- 6 slices (crumbled) cooked bacon
- 1 large (for egg wash) egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions, keeping them cool but pliable.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture. Gently scramble the eggs until just set but soft. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 5
On a lightly floured surface, lay out the puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 6 rectangles, creating 12 total pieces.
Step 6
Place a small portion of scrambled eggs (about 2 tablespoons) on one side of each rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Step 7
Top the eggs with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese and a few crumbles of cooked bacon.
Step 8
Brush the edges of each rectangle with a little water to help seal the pastry. Fold the empty half of each rectangle over the filling and press the edges together with a fork to seal. Repeat for all strudels.
Step 9
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each strudel with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Step 10
Using a sharp knife, cut two small slits in the top of each strudel to allow steam to escape.
Step 11
Transfer the strudels to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Step 12
Remove from the oven and allow the strudels to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
