Add the Filling:
Evenly spread the crumbled bacon and shredded cheese over the puff pastry.

Starting from one long side, roll the puff pastry tightly into a log.
Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 1-inch pieces.
Prepare for Baking:
Place the sliced pieces cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds if desired.
