I know bleu cheese can be pretty divisive - most people either love it or hate it. But if you like bleu cheese, you will like this pastry. And the best part? It looks very impressive, but it's actually very easy to make.
So where to start? First, preheat the oven to 350°F. Make sure your puff pastry sheets are fully thawed. Unfold each one to lay it flat. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey onto each puff pastry sheet. Then, divide the bleu cheese, parmesan cheese, and chopped walnuts, and scatter them over the pastry sheets. Top with the fresh thyme leaves. Season with sea salt and cracked pepper.

Roll up each puff pastry. Then cut them in half lengthwise. You’ll need to pinch the open sides together, to prevent the fillings from falling out. It doesn’t have to be perfectly closed, and it’s ok if some filling is poking out.

Twist each portion of pastry. Then, on a baking sheet, place the twisted puff pastries into a coil shape. Connect the pieces of pastry end-to-end to make a good-sized coil.

Brush the top of the coiled pastry with milk. Sprinkle some extra thyme leaves on top.
Bake the pastry for 25-30 minutes, til it's puffed up and golden. Remove from the oven, transfer to a platter, and serve warm.
