- Mix the onion into the mashed potatoes and let cool to room temperature.
- Fold the grated cheese, eggs, flour, mustard, thyme, salt and pepper into the cool mixture.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- On a floured surface, roll the puff pastry to 11x13 inches (28x33 cm) if needed, then cut it in half lengthwise.
- Spread the filling down the centre of both pastry pieces, leaving about 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) free on each side.
- Brush the edges with egg wash, wrap the pastry over the filling and overlap the seam to seal.
- Cut each log into about 8 equal pieces and place them seam-side down on the sheet.
- Brush the rolls with egg wash and sprinkle with nigella seeds.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
- Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
