1-To start making your Fig and Goat Cheese Pinwheels: begin by preheating the oven to 400º F and lining two sheet pans with parchment paper. Lay out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a clean surface, then spread 1/4 cup of fig preserves evenly on each sheet, leaving a small border around the edges. Crumble and sprinkle half the goat cheese over the fig preserves on each sheet for that ideal sweet-savory mix.

2-Next, carefully roll each sheet into a tight log with the seam side down and refrigerate for 20 minutes to help them hold their shape. After chilling, remove the logs from the fridge and slice each into 12 even pinwheels using a serrated knife, giving you a total of 24 pinwheels. Arrange the pinwheels on the prepared pans, spacing them apart, and explore grilled vegetable ideas to pair with this appetizer for a complete meal.

3-Now, bake the pinwheels for 15 minutes until they’re golden brown and puffed, creating a flaky texture that’s hard to resist. Once done, serve them immediately or let them cool and freeze for later use, which is great for meal prep. This Fig and Goat Cheese Pinwheels recipe fits well into your grilling routine, offering a baked twist to outdoor cooking traditions.
