Ingredients
  

Pastry
  • 2 sheets puff pastry square shaped
Filling
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 100 grams blue cheese crumbled
  • 100 grams Parmesan cheese grated
  • 50 grams walnuts chopped
  • 6–8 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
Topping
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • sea salt
  • cracked pepper

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180C (350F). For an electric non-fan forced oven, increase to 200C (390F).
  2. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over each sheet of puff pastry.
  3. Divide the chopped walnuts, crumbled blue cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese evenly between the two sheets of puff pastry. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over and season with sea salt and cracked pepper.
  4. Roll up each sheet of pastry tightly. Cut each roll in half lengthwise, tucking in the pastry after cutting to keep the filling intact.
  5. On a sheet of baking paper, twist each length of pastry and form them into a round coil shape.
  6. Brush the pastry coils with milk for a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until puffed, golden, and cooked through.
  7. Remove from the oven, scatter extra thyme leaves on top, and serve warm.

Notes

These puff pastry twirls are a versatile appetizer that can be customized with different types of cheese or nuts. Serve them warm to enjoy the full flavor of the melted cheese and crispy pastry.
