Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
Fold the edges of the puff pastry inward to create a small border and prick the center with a fork to prevent it from puffing too much during baking.
Place the puff pastry in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
While the puff pastry is baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In the same skillet, add olive oil and sauté the diced bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the sautéed vegetables, crumbled bacon, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the prebaked puff pastry.
Pour the egg mixture over the toppings, making sure it spreads evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top of the dish.
Return the assembled Breakfast Surprise to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool for 5 minutes, then slice into portions and serve.
