Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Unroll the pastry on its paper and spread with the sandwich pickle in an even layer right to the edges.
  2. Sprinkle over the cheese and thyme, then tightly roll into a log along a long edge. Chill for 20 mins, then cut into 1½cm thick rounds.
  3. Transfer to a lined baking tray, brush with beaten egg, then bake for 18-20 mins until golden and crisp. Leave to cool a little before serving. The pinwheels will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days and are best served warm. Reheat in the oven at the above temperature for 4-5 mins.

Freezing and defrosting guidelines

Freeze the unbaked pinwheels on a baking sheet until solid, then put in a freezer bag. Bake from frozen as per the recipe but for 2-3 mins longer. In order to enjoy optimum flavour and quality, frozen items are best used within 3 months of their freezing date. For more tips on freezing and defrosting food, read our article Love Your Freezer.
