Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Line a large baking tray with nonstick baking paper. In a small bowl, mash together the goat’s cheese, honey, thyme and walnuts.
Cut each filo sheet widthways into 3 long strips and cover with a clean damp tea towel.
To make the cigars, remove one rectangle and brush with the melted butter, shape 1 tbsp goat’s cheese mixture into small log and place at the end of the short side of the rectangle, leaving 2cm border at each end. Roll up into a cigar shape and transfer to the baking tray, seam-side down. Repeat until you have 12 cigars.
Bake for 15-20 mins until golden and crisp. Allow to cool for at least 10 mins, then pile up on a serving dish and drizzle over a little extra honey. Scatter over a few thyme leaves and serve.
