Combine the soft cheese, cheese pieces, red leicester, jalapeños and hot sauce, if using, in a medium bowl. Season well with salt and pepper, and set aside.

Unravel the pastry and evenly spread over the cheese mixture, right to the edges. Roll up into a tight spiral from a longer side, then slice into 12 pinwheels. Put on a baking tray lined with baking parchment, spaced well apart, then chill for 20 mins.

Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake the pinwheels for 20-25 mins until golden, puffed up and risen. Cool on the tray for 5 mins, then serve warm.
