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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mix the blue cheese, cream cheese, honey, and fresh thyme together until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Spread the blue cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border along all edges.

Step 5

Sprinkle the finely chopped walnuts evenly over the cheese mixture.

Step 6

Starting from one of the long edges, tightly roll the dough into a log. Use your fingers to gently pinch the seam closed.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the spirals are golden-brown and puffed.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the spirals to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving platter.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, drizzle with a little extra honey for added sweetness before serving.
