Roll tightly to ensure the filling doesn't spill out and the rolls are firm.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Arrange the rolled cheese pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Whisk the remaining egg with a splash of milk to create an egg wash, then brush it over the top of each roll. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
