Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g Puff pastry
- 150 g Stilton cheese
- 50 g Walnuts
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the puff pastry to a thickness of about 3mm. If using pre-rolled puff pastry, simply unroll it.
In a medium bowl, crumble the Stilton cheese into small pieces. Chop the walnuts finely and add them to the bowl along with the fresh thyme leaves. Mix well to combine.
Cut the puff pastry into equal-sized squares, approximately 10cm x 10cm.
Place a spoonful of the Stilton mixture in the center of each pastry square. Be careful not to overfill.
Fold each square diagonally to create triangles, pressing the edges together firmly to seal. Use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges for added security and decoration.
In a small bowl, beat the egg to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking tray, spacing them out evenly to allow for expansion.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Allow the pastries to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
