Preparation
Step 1
Thoroughly wash and dry the zucchinis. Using a mandoline, slice them into thin strips lengthwise.
Step 2
Preheat the electric grill. Brush the zucchini strips with olive oil using a cooking brush, then grill them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until tender and slightly marked.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the crumbled blue cheese with the thick cream until you achieve a smooth consistency.
Step 4
On a plate, begin to assemble the mille-feuille: place one slice of zucchini, add a spoonful of the blue cheese mixture, then another slice. Repeat until you’ve reached the desired height.
Step 5
In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey over low heat. Add the chopped walnuts and mix delicately.
Step 6
Drizzle each mille-feuille with the honey and walnut mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

For an even more intense flavor, consider adding a touch of fresh thyme or rosemary between the layers of zucchini.
