Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out 1 puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to a 10x12 inch rectangle. Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: Sprinkle 150g crumbled British Stilton cheese evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  3. Step 3: Scatter 75g roughly chopped walnuts and 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves over the cheese. Season with 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Step 4: Fold the 1-inch edges of the pastry inward to form a border, then brush the edges with 1 beaten egg for a golden finish.
  5. Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden, and the cheese is bubbling.
  6. Step 6: Remove from the oven and let the tart cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
