Ingredients
  

Pastry Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed, 13.2 oz, Jus-Rol brand
  • 0.5 cup fig preserves
  • 4 oz goat cheese crumbed
  • 4-5 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg for egg wash

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Unroll the thawed puff pastry and place on parchment paper. Spread the fig preserves on top - making sure it’s evenly spread with about 1 inch or less of puff pastry still left untouched on the sides.
  • Crumble the goat cheese evenly on top of the fig preserves. Add the brown sugar and fresh thyme, making sure it’s evenly spread.
  • Gently roll it up into a log, making sure the roll stays tight and nothing is spilling out as you go. Once rolled, I rolled up my parchment paper around it.
  • Pop the roll in the freezer to chill for 20 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Once they have chilled, remove and spread out the parchment paper. Use a SHARP knife to slice them in ½ inch pinwheels. I found that wiping my knife after each cut was beneficial.
  • Once sliced, spread them evenly out on the parchment paper on a large sheet pan.
  • In a small bowl, beat one large egg to make an egg wash. Lightly brush the tops of the pastries with the egg wash.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden and flaky!
  • Garnish with sprinkles of additional brown sugar and thyme. Enjoy while warm.

Notes

These pinwheels are perfect for holiday gatherings or as a unique appetizer for any occasion.
