Instructions
1
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F, positioning the oven rack in the center.
2
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

3. On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet and gently roll it into a 14" x 14" square, ensuring to pinch the seams to create a uniform surface. Flour any sticky areas as needed.
4
4. Place 4 slices of bacon horizontally on the dough, creating two lines with a 1" border on all sides. In between the bacon rows, spread the scrambled eggs evenly, covering the width but not reaching the edges. Top with shredded sharp cheddar cheese.

5. In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with 1 teaspoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture around the edges of the dough.

6. Starting from one of the longer sides, carefully roll the dough over the filling, pinching the seam to seal securely. Place the rolled Stromboli seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Tuck the ends underneath to secure the filling, then brush the entire roll with the egg wash. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky. Once baked, let the Stromboli rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing into generous pieces. Serve hot and enjoy your hearty breakfast delight.
