Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a smooth rectangle, if needed.
Spread the cream cheese evenly across the entire surface of the puff pastry, leaving about a 1/2-inch (1 cm) border around the edges.
Layer the salami slices evenly over the cream cheese so that they completely cover the pastry.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the salami layer.
Starting from one of the longer edges, tightly roll the pastry into a log, making sure to maintain a firm but gentle pressure as you go.
Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 equal spirals, about 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick each.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Place the spirals cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between each spiral.
Brush the tops of the spirals with the egg wash to promote a golden, glossy finish during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the spirals are puffed and golden brown.
Allow the spirals to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
