Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

7. On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet.
8. Spread the cooked brussels sprouts evenly on top of the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
9. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the brussels sprouts.
10. Starting from one edge, carefully roll the pastry into a log shape.
11. Seal the edges by brushing the beaten egg wash on the border of the pastry.
12. Place the pastry roll on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down.
13. Brush the entire pastry roll with the remaining beaten egg wash.
