Baked Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Pinwheels: A Sunday Breakfast Tradition

### Instructions:

#### 1. **Prepare the Bacon**
Start by cooking the bacon to your preferred crispiness. You can either pan-fry, bake, or microwave the bacon. Once cooked, set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease. Once cooled, chop the bacon into small pieces. Set aside.

#### 2. **Scramble the Eggs**
In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt a little butter (optional). Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until they’re just set but still creamy. You don’t want to overcook them, as they’ll cook further in the oven. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.

#### 3. **Prepare the Crescent Dough**
Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Press the seams together to form one large rectangle. You want to ensure that the dough is smooth and evenly spread out, with no gaps between the individual triangles.

#### 4. **Assemble the Pinwheels**
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Layer the chopped bacon over the cheese, followed by a generous portion of scrambled eggs. Be careful not to overfill, as this will make rolling up the dough difficult.

#### 5. **Roll and Slice**
Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, starting from one edge. Once you have the full roll, slice it into about 8 equal pinwheels, about 1-1.5 inches thick. Arrange the pinwheels on the baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between them so they can expand as they bake.

#### 6. **Bake**
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pinwheels into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden and the cheese is melted. You might want to check halfway through and rotate the pan to ensure even baking.

#### 7. **Serve**
Once baked, let the pinwheels cool for a few minutes before serving. If desired, garnish with some fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley, for a burst of color and extra flavor.

### Tips for Success:
– **Make it your own**: Feel free to customize the pinwheels with other ingredients like sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or even avocado.
– **Keep them crispy**: If you’re not serving these immediately, keep them crispy by reheating in a toaster oven for a few minutes.
– **Frozen option**: These pinwheels freeze well! After baking and cooling, store them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. Simply reheat in the oven when you’re ready to enjoy.
