Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 9 oz puff pastry, thawed keep cold
- 4.5 oz Roquefort cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 cup walnuts, chopped and toasted toast for best crunch
- 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp honey plus extra to drizzle, optional
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.125 tsp cayenne pepper optional
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour for dusting
- 1 tbsp milk for brushing
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Toast chopped walnuts in a dry skillet until fragrant. Let them cool completely.
- Stir Roquefort and cream cheese until smooth. Mix in honey, thyme, pepper, and cayenne.
- Dust the counter with flour. Roll the pastry into a 10x12-inch rectangle.
- Spread the cheese mixture over the pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
- Scatter walnuts on top and press lightly so they adhere.
- Roll up tightly from a long side to form a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
- Chill the log in the freezer for 10 minutes until firm enough to slice.
- Slice into 1/2-inch rounds. Arrange cut-side up on the lined sheet, spaced apart.
- Brush the tops lightly with milk.
- Bake 16–18 minutes until puffed and deep golden.
- Cool 5 minutes. Drizzle with a little honey if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
Variation: Add a few thinly sliced pear pieces inside before rolling for sweet contrast. Storage: Reheat leftovers at 350°F for 6–8 minutes to re-crisp. Freeze the unbaked sliced rounds and bake from frozen, adding 2–3 minutes.
