Ingredients
- 1pre-rolled puff pastry sheet
- 3 tbspfig jam

- 150gblue cheese (e.g. Roquefort, Gorgonzola)
- 3-4thyme sprigs, leaves picked

Fig pinwheels:
Sweet and savoury autumnal fig pastries, swirled with sweet fig jam, salty prosciutto, fresh figs, and creamy blue cheese, baked into golden, bite-sized pinwheels
Method
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Roll out pre-rolled puff pastry on a tray lined with baking paper.
Spread fig jam evenly over pastry, leaving a 1-inch border at the bottom edge.
Arrange the prosciutto slices in slightly overlapping layers to cover the fig jam completely.
Slice the figs into 4mm rounds and place on top of the ham in a single layer.
Crumble over blue cheese and lightly press down so that it sticks to the figs. Then, sprinkle over picked thyme leaves.
Fold the uncovered pastry edge over the filling, then roll the pastry into a compact log, squeezing lightly as you go.
Chill the log in the fridge for 15 minutes, then cut into 1.5cm slices.
Place the pinwheels on a lined baking sheet, spacing them well apart to allow for them to expand in the oven.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. The figs will become jammy and the cheese will bubble and become crisp on the top.
While still warm, drizzle with honey and garnish with more thyme. Enjoy hot or cold.
