- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out slightly to smooth any creases.

- Using a sharp knife, cut the log into even slices, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Place the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Brush the pinwheels with the beaten egg, ensuring the tops and sides are coated.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and puffed.
- Remove from the oven and let the pinwheels cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy these delicious puff pastry pinwheels warm or at room temperature!
