Step-by-Step Instructions for Fig and Goat Cheese Pinwheels
  1. Thaw the puff pastry in the fridge until cold and pliable, then roll it out to a rectangular shape about 1/8 inch thick.
  2. Spread fig preserves evenly across the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border, and crumble goat cheese over the preserves.
  3. Roll the pastry tightly into a log shape from one long edge and seal the edge with a gentle press.
  4. Freeze the log for 15-20 minutes to firm it up before slicing.
  5. Slice the log into 12-14 equal pinwheels about 1 inch thick, and arrange them cut-side up on a baking sheet.
  6. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), brush the tops with egg wash, and bake for 15-20 minutes until puffed and golden.
  7. Let cool slightly on a wire rack, garnish with thyme or honey, and serve warm.
