Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth any creases.
In a bowl, whisk together the scrambled eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.

Variations & Tips
For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and add sautéed spinach or mushrooms.

You can also experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the scrambled eggs. For a more indulgent option, consider adding a layer of cream cheese before rolling the pastry.
