Fig and Goat Cheese Pinwheels

Healthy Fact of the Day

Figs are a great source of dietary fiber and antioxidants, while goat cheese provides calcium and protein with lower fat content compared to other cheeses. Using puff pastry in moderation makes this dish an indulgent yet balanced treat. Opting for fresh greens like arugula adds vitamins A and C. To reduce calories, use reduced-sugar fig preserves and skip the honey drizzle.

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1/2 cup fig preserves or jam
  • 4 oz goat cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh arugula or baby spinach (optional)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp honey (for drizzling, optional)

     Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry into a 12×12-inch square.

  3. Spread fig preserves evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

  4. Crumble goat cheese evenly over the fig layer.
    Sprinkle with chopped nuts and arugula, if using.

  5. Starting from one side, tightly roll the pastry into a log.

  6. Slice the log into 1/2-inch thick rounds and place on the prepared baking sheet.

  7. Brush each pinwheel with beaten egg to ensure a golden finish.

  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.

  9. Drizzle with honey before serving for added sweetness (optional).

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
