Ingredients

150g soft cheese
3 cheese slices , cut into small chunks
125g red leicester cheese , coarsely grated
50g pickled jalapeños , roughly chopped
few shakes of hot sauce (optional)
320g ready-rolled puff pastry sheet
1 egg , beaten

Method

Combine the soft cheese, cheese pieces, red leicester, jalapeños and hot sauce, if using, in a medium bowl. Season well with salt and pepper, and set aside.
Unravel the pastry and evenly spread over the cheese mixture, right to the edges. Roll up into a tight spiral from a longer side, then slice into 12 pinwheels. Put on a baking tray lined with baking parchment, spaced well apart, then chill for 20 mins.
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake the pinwheels for 20-25 mins until golden, puffed up and risen. Cool on the tray for 5 mins, then serve warm.
