Notes

Use high-quality Roquefort for the best flavor, and don't skip the balsamic vinegar as it adds depth. For a vegetarian option, ensure to use plant-based puff pastry and check for vegetarian cheese. Leftovers can be stored in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 2 days or frozen before baking for later use. Garnish with fresh thyme or edible flowers for presentation.
