Ingredients
  

For the Pastry
  • 2 sheets Puff Pastry Use pre-rolled sheets for easy preparation.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Or swap for maple syrup for a different touch.
  • 2 tablespoons Milk Plant-based milk works well as an alternative.
For the Filling
  • 100 grams Blue Cheese Provides a strong, tangy flavor; swap with feta for a milder twist.
  • 50 grams Parmesan Cheese Contributes a salty, nutty depth.
  • 50 grams Walnuts Feel free to use pecans or almonds instead.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Thyme If fresh isn’t available, dried thyme can be used.
For Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt Essential for flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Cracked Pepper Tailor the amount to fit your taste.

Equipment

  • Baking tray
  • Parchment paper
  • Pastry brush
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) or 200°C (390°F) for non-fan-forced settings. Prepare your baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Lay the puff pastry sheets flat and drizzle honey evenly over each sheet.
  3. Sprinkle walnuts, blue cheese, and Parmesan cheese across the honey-drizzled pastry. Scatter fresh thyme leaves on top and season with sea salt and cracked pepper.
  4. Roll each puff pastry sheet tightly and cut it in half lengthwise. Tuck any escaping filling back inside.
  5. Twist each cut pastry piece into spirals and lay on the parchment-lined baking tray, brushing the tops with milk.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown, keeping an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
  7. Once baked, let the pastries cool slightly and sprinkle with fresh thyme before serving.
