- Carefully unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface or parchment paper.
- Spread the softened goat cheese evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Dollop the fig jam over the goat cheese and gently spread it, then sprinkle with fresh thyme if desired.
- Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the pastry tightly into a log, ensuring it's sealed.
- Slice the log into 1/2-inch thick rounds and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.

- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed, then let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a drizzle of balsamic glaze after baking. These pinwheels are best served warm but are also delicious at room temperature.
