Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and allow to cool slightly, then finely chop. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese and scallions. Season with salt and pepper.
- Unfold the pastry sheets on a lightly floured work surface. Lightly roll each piece of pastry into a 10-inch square. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of each piece of pastry, leaving a slight border around the edges. Sprinkle the Cheddar and bacon in an even layer over the top of the cream cheese mixture. Tightly roll each pastry sheet into a log (jelly roll style), then pinch the seam closed and place seam-side down on the work surface.
- Using a sharp knife, cut both logs crosswise into 12 pinwheels each, approximately 1 inch thick. Transfer 12 pinwheels to each prepared baking sheet, spiral-side up. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon water until combined to make an egg wash. Brush the tops and sides of the pinwheels with the egg wash.
- Bake the pinwheels until puffed and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to cut the puff pastry sheets into even strips. This will help ensure that the pinwheels are cooked evenly.
- Don't overfill the pinwheels. Too much filling will make them difficult to roll and seal, and they may burst open during baking.
- If you're using a cheese that is difficult to shred, such as Parmesan or Romano, you can grate it instead. This will make it easier to incorporate into the filling.
- To make the pinwheels ahead of time, assemble them and then freeze them on a baking sheet. Once they're frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag and store them for up to 1 month. When you're ready to bake them, simply thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Conclusion:
Bacon and cheese pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply a quick bite to eat. With their flaky puff pastry, savory bacon, and melted cheese, these pinwheels are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
