Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheet according to the package instructions, ensuring it is pliable but still cool to the touch.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Mince the garlic and stir it into the melted butter.
Add the poppy seeds, grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to the garlic butter mixture. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Evenly spread the garlic-poppy seed butter mixture over the entire surface of the pastry using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Starting with one long edge, roll the puff pastry tightly into a log, ensuring the seam is on the bottom to keep it secure.
Slice the log into approximately 16 spiral pieces, about 1/2 inch thick each, and place them cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each spiral lightly with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the spirals are golden brown and puffed up.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
