Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed, 13.2 oz)

- 4 oz log goat cheese, crumbled
- 4–5 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
Instructions

Prepare Puff Pastry:
Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet and place it on a piece of parchment paper. Spread the fig preserves evenly over the pastry, leaving about a 1-inch border along the edges. -
Add Toppings:
Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the fig preserves. Follow with a light, even layer of brown sugar and fresh thyme leaves. -
Roll and Chill:
Carefully roll the pastry into a tight log, keeping the fillings intact. Wrap the rolled log in parchment paper and place it in the freezer for 20 minutes. This helps it firm up for easy slicing. -
Slice and Arrange:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once chilled, remove the roll and slice it into 1/2-inch pinwheels using a sharp knife, wiping the knife clean between each cut. Arrange the pinwheels on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart. -
Egg Wash and Bake:
In a small bowl, beat the egg for the egg wash. Brush the tops of each pinwheel with the egg wash to ensure a golden finish. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden and flaky. -
Serve and Garnish:
Once baked, garnish with additional sprinkles of brown sugar and thyme, if desired. Enjoy the pinwheels warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Freezing for Easy Slicing: Chilling the rolled pastry in the freezer for 20 minutes helps the roll hold its shape, making it much easier to slice.
- Sharp Knife: Use a sharp knife to avoid squishing the pinwheels when slicing, and clean it between cuts for neater slices.
- Egg Wash for Shine: The egg wash gives the pinwheels a beautiful golden color, making them extra appetizing.
