These were fairly simple to make, don't take a lot of time, and don't need weird ingredients. It's also a nice vegetarian recipe. They work great for appetizers or a little party treat.
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed if frozen
- 1/2 cup soft goat cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup fig jam or preserves
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 egg, beaten
Thaw puff pastry in the refrigerator for several hours or at room temperature for about 30 minutes, until pliable but still cool. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to remove creases and thin it slightly. Aim for a rectangle approximately 10x12 inches.
Using a spatula, spread an even layer of goat cheese over the puff pastry, leaving a 1/2 inch border on the long sides. Go all the way to the edges on the short sides. Spread the fig jam evenly over the goat cheese layer. Drizzle honey over fig layer and sprinkle thyme leaves. Add chopped nuts.
Roll the puff pastry tightly from one long side to the other, forming a log. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into approximately 20 evenly sized pinwheels.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Arrange the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet and brush each with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky. All pinwheels to cool slightly before serving.
