Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup walnuts, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Lightly dust a clean surface with the all-purpose flour. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the floured surface, keeping it in a rectangular shape. Pinch the perforations together to seal, creating one solid sheet of dough.
In a medium bowl, mix the blue cheese, cream cheese, honey, and fresh thyme together until smooth and well combined.
Spread the blue cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border along all edges.
Sprinkle the finely chopped walnuts evenly over the cheese mixture.
Starting from one of the long edges, tightly roll the dough into a log. Use your fingers to gently pinch the seam closed.
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough log into 16 evenly sized slices, about 1/2-inch thick each. Place the slices cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the spirals are golden-brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and allow the spirals to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving platter.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, drizzle with a little extra honey for added sweetness before serving.
