Step-by-Step Instructions for Fig and Goat Cheese Pinwheels
  1. Thaw the puff pastry in the fridge until it is cold but still workable, about 30 minutes. Roll out the pastry into a rectangle.
  2. Spread fig preserves over the pastry, leaving a half-inch border. Crumble goat cheese over the preserves; add thyme if desired.
  3. Roll the pastry tightly into a log, wrap in parchment paper, and chill in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
  4. Slice the log into even pinwheels, about 1 inch thick, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush pinwheels with beaten egg and bake for 15-20 minutes until puffed and golden.
