Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the blue cheese.
Place the crumpets back under the grill for another 1-2 minutes, just until the cheese is slightly melted.
Remove from the grill and drizzle each crumpet with honey.
Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves, a pinch of salt, and freshly cracked black pepper over the top for added flavor.
