Tips for Perfect Swirls

✅ Chill the rolled pastry for 10 minutes before slicing for cleaner spirals.

✅ Use a sharp serrated knife to avoid squashing the pastry.

✅ Swap blue cheese with goat cheese or feta for a milder flavor.

✅ Add caramelized onions for extra sweetness and depth.

✅ Best served fresh from the oven when the pastry is crisp and flaky.
