How to Make Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Bundles

These savory breakfast bundles are incredibly simple to make. Follow these steps for perfectly golden, flaky results every time.

Step 1: Prepare the Scrambled Eggs

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and frothy.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set and still slightly soft. Remove from heat and let the eggs cool completely. This is important to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.

Step 2: Prepare the Puff Pastry

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets slightly to smooth out the creases. Cut each sheet into 3 equal rectangles, giving you 6 pieces total.

Step 3: Assemble the Bundles

Place a portion of the scrambled eggs in the center of each pastry rectangle. Top with crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. If using any additional add-ins, sprinkle them on now.

Fold the pastry over the filling to form a bundle or pouch. Pinch the edges together to seal. Place the bundles seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Egg Wash and Bake

In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the milk or water. Brush the tops of each bundle with the egg wash. This gives them that beautiful glossy, golden-brown finish.

Use a sharp knife to cut a small slit on top of each bundle to allow steam to escape.

Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the bundles are puffed up and golden brown. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 5: Serve

Serve the breakfast bundles warm. They’re delicious on their own or with a side of fresh fruit or a simple salad.

Tips for the Best Breakfast Bundles

Keep the pastry cold: Puff pastry needs cold butter to create steam and flaky layers. If your dough gets too warm while assembling, pop it back in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before baking.

Don’t overfill: While it’s tempting to pile on the filling, too much can cause the bundles to burst open during baking. A moderate amount ensures perfect baking.

Cook the eggs until just set: Overcooked eggs will be dry. Cook them until they’re just set and still slightly soft—they’ll finish cooking in the oven.

Seal the edges well: Pinch the edges firmly to ensure a tight seal. This prevents the filling from leaking out during baking.

Delicious Variations to Try

• Sausage and Cheese Bundles: Replace the bacon with cooked breakfast sausage crumbles.
• Veggie Breakfast Bundles: Add sautéed spinach, mushrooms, and bell peppers to the filling.
• Ham and Swiss Bundles: Replace the bacon with diced ham and use Swiss cheese instead of cheddar.
• Spicy Breakfast Bundles: Add a dash of hot sauce or some diced jalapeños to the egg mixture for a spicy kick.

How to Store and Reheat

Storing: Baked bundles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They’re delicious cold or reheated.

Reheating: For best results, reheat bundles in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes until warm and crispy again. A toaster oven works great. The microwave will make the pastry soft, so it’s best to avoid it.

Freezing: Unbaked assembled bundles can be frozen on a baking sheet, then transferred to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding 5-8 minutes to the baking time.
