Fold the short ends slightly inward to seal in the filling.
Then, carefully roll the puff pastry from one long end into a firm cylinder, like a Swiss roll.
Place the roll seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Brush and decorate:
Brush the entire surface of the strudel with beaten egg.
If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds or grated Parmesan cheese for a golden, crisp finish.
Bake:
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and crisp.
Serve:
Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or warm to enjoy the melted cheese.
