Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Lightly flour a surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth it.
- Spread your filling evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border along one edge.
- Roll up the pastry, starting from the opposite edge and rolling towards the border side for a secure seam.
- Slice the roll into 1-inch thick pieces and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Bake
