Let puff pastry sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes until pliable.
In a bowl, gently mash blackberries with a fork, then mix in goat cheese and honey just until marbled.
Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface to smooth seams. Spread the filling over half the sheet and fold the other half on top.
Cut the folded pastry into 1-inch strips, twist each, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush with egg wash. Sprinkle with thyme and coarse sugar if using.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes or until golden and puffed.
Let cool slightly before serving.

Frozen blackberries can be used if thawed and well-drained.
Ricotta or cream cheese can replace goat cheese for a milder taste.
Twists can be assembled up to 4 hours in advance and refrigerated before baking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5–8 minutes for best texture.
