### Ingredients:
#### For the Pinwheels:
– 1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
– 1/2 lb (250g) minced meat (beef, lamb, or chicken)
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend of your choice)
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
– 1 egg (for egg wash)
### Directions:
#### 1. **Prepare the Minced Meat Filling:**
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened and fragrant. Add the minced meat to the pan, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Stir occasionally, ensuring the meat is browned evenly.
#### 2. **Prepare the Puff Pastry:**
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. If your puff pastry is too thick, you can roll it out slightly to make it thinner.
