  • Add on the caramelized onions.
  • Layer on the roast beef and then provolone.
  • Roll up the puff pastry and add the egg wash to the edge to help seal the roll.
  • Slice in 1/2 inch to 1 inch pieces and then add them to lined baking sheets.
  • Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the egg wash.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
