  3. Sprinkle walnuts, blue cheese, Parmesan, and fresh thyme across each pastry sheet. Season with sea salt and cracked pepper.
  4. Roll each pastry sheet into a tight log and cut the log lengthwise in half.
  5. Twist both strips together to form a spiral shape, then coil into a circular shape, tucking the end to secure.
  6. Brush the twisted pastry with milk to create a beautiful golden crust.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  8. Let cool for a few minutes, then sprinkle with extra thyme leaves before serving.
