Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Pastry
  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 1/2 cup fig preserves
  • 4 oz goat cheese crumbled
  • 4-5 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg for egg wash

Equipment

  • Sharp Knife
  • Sheet Pan
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. Unroll the thawed puff pastry and place on parchment paper. Spread the fig preserves on top, leaving about 1 inch of pastry untouched on the sides.
  2. Crumble the goat cheese evenly on top of the fig preserves. Add the brown sugar and fresh thyme, spreading evenly.
  3. Gently roll it up into a log, ensuring the roll stays tight. Wrap in parchment paper.
  4. Chill the roll in the freezer for 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  5. Slice the chilled roll into ½ inch pinwheels with a sharp knife, wiping the knife after each cut.
  6. Arrange pinwheels on parchment paper on a sheet pan.
  7. Beat the egg to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the pastries lightly.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until pastries are golden and flaky.
  9. Garnish with additional brown sugar and thyme. Enjoy while warm!

Notes

These pinwheels are best enjoyed warm. You can prepare them ahead of time and freeze before baking. Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of fig preserves or brown sugar.
