    Unfold the pastry on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 16x12 rectangle. With the short side facing you, spoon the vegetable mixture onto the bottom half of the pastry to within 1 inch of the edge. Top with the cheese. Starting with the short side, roll up like a jelly roll. Tuck the ends under to seal. Place seam side down onto a baking sheet. Brush with the egg mixture.
