Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over each puff pastry sheet.
-

Brush with milk for a golden finish.
-

Notes
Omit walnuts for a nut-free version.
Substitute blue cheese with goat cheese, feta, or brie for a different flavor.
Add balsamic glaze after baking for a sweet finish.
Try rosemary or oregano instead of thyme for variety.
Reheat in an oven, not the microwave, to keep it crispy.
