Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • ⅓ cup blue cheese crumbled
  • ¼ cup walnuts finely chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves or ½ tsp dried thyme
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • Optional: honey for drizzling

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Rolling Pin
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven:
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
  4. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a 10x12-inch rectangle.
  5. Add the Filling:
  6. Evenly spread the blue cheese crumbles across the pastry. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts and fresh thyme leaves on top, pressing gently to adhere them to the pastry.
  7. Roll and Slice:
  8. Starting from one long edge, roll the puff pastry into a tight log. Slice the log into ½-inch thick rounds.
  9. Prepare for Baking:
  10. Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  11. Bake:
  12. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and crisp.
  13. Optional Honey Drizzle:
  14. For a touch of sweetness, drizzle warm honey over the twirls before serving.
