Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
- 4 oz Bleu cheese
- 0.33 cup Walnuts
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 Egg
- 1 tbsp Water
- 1 tbsp Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a clean work surface. Roll out the puff pastry sheet into a 10x12-inch rectangle if it’s not pre-rolled.
In a small bowl, crumble the bleu cheese and mix with honey and roughly chopped walnuts.
Spread the bleu cheese mixture evenly over half of the puff pastry sheet, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Fold the other half of the puff pastry over the filling, pressing gently to seal the edges.
Using a sharp knife or pastry cutter, slice the filled pastry into 8 equal strips.
Twist each strip gently but firmly to create a spiral shape and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 1 inch between each twist.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash lightly over the twists for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
