3
On a lightly floured work surface, cut the puff pastry square in half so you have two rectangles that are 4½ x 9 inches (11 ½ cm/23 cm). If the pastry is a bit shorter you can roll it out lightly.
4
Working with one piece of pastry at a time, brush some egg wash along all of the edges, then fill the center with half of the almond filling.

Fold the short ends of the pastry just over the filling at either end, then roll up the pastry into a log. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining pastry and filling.
6
Brush both logs with egg wash and then sprinkle on the sliced almonds.
