Ingredients:
- 2 sheets of puff pastry (square-shaped)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 100 grams blue cheese, crumbled
- 100 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 50 grams walnuts, chopped
- 6-8 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Sea salt and cracked pepper to taste
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). If using an electric oven, particularly a non-fan forced one, increase the temperature slightly to 390°F (200°C) for optimal results. - Prepare the Puff Pastry:
Lay the puff pastry sheets flat on a clean surface. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey evenly across each sheet, ensuring a sweet base layer. - Add the Toppings:
Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese, grated Parmesan, and chopped walnuts evenly over the honey-drizzled pastry. Finish by scattering the fresh thyme leaves on top. Season with sea salt and cracked pepper to enhance the flavors. - Roll and Slice:
Carefully roll each sheet of puff pastry into a tight log. Once rolled, cut each log in half lengthwise. To secure the filling, gently tuck in the edges of the pastry. - Shape the Twists:
Take each length of pastry, twist it gently, and then form it into a round coil. Place the coiled twists on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with a bit of milk to achieve a golden, glossy finish. - Bake to Perfection:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The pastry should puff up beautifully and turn a rich golden brown when ready. - Garnish and Serve:
Once out of the oven, garnish with a few extra thyme leaves for a fresh touch. Serve the twists warm to fully enjoy the melting cheese and crispy pastry.
