Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for fan-forced ovens or 200°C (390°F) for non-fan ovens.
Lay out the sheets of puff pastry on a clean surface and drizzle honey over each sheet.
Sprinkle blue cheese, followed by grated Parmesan, walnuts, and thyme evenly over the pastry. Season with sea salt and cracked pepper.
Roll the pastry sheet tightly from one end to create a log shape, and then cut each log in half lengthwise.
Twist each pastry half gently to create a corkscrew effect and coil each piece into a circular shape. Brush generously with milk.
Place the baking tray in the oven and bake the twirls for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
Remove from oven, garnish with fresh thyme, and serve warm.
