Ingredients
2 sheets of puff pastry (square shaped)
2 tbsp honey
100g blue cheese, crumbled
100g grated Parmesan cheese
50g walnuts, chopped
6–8 sprigs of fresh thyme leaves
1 tbsp milk
Sea salt and cracked pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). If using a non-fan forced oven, increase the temperature to 200°C (390°F).
-
Drizzle honey evenly over each sheet of puff pastry.
-
Sprinkle chopped walnuts, crumbled blue cheese, grated Parmesan, and fresh thyme leaves over the pastry. Season with sea salt and cracked pepper.
-
Roll each sheet of pastry tightly and cut it in half lengthwise. Twist each piece into a coil and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Brush the pastry coils with milk and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
-
Once baked, sprinkle with extra thyme leaves and serve warm.
