Distribute chopped walnuts, crumbled blue cheese, and grated Parmesan evenly across both pastry sheets. Scatter fresh thyme leaves on top and season with sea salt and cracked black pepper.

On parchment paper, carefully twist each pastry length, then coil each piece to form a round spiral.

Remove twirls from the oven, scatter additional thyme leaves if desired, and serve warm.
