Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

250 ml milk (1 1/8 cups)
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour (mixed to a paste mixed with the butter for a paste)
140 g button mushrooms, cut into quarters (5 oz)
1 tablespoon olive oil
140 g ham, chopped into small pieces (5 oz)
85 g leftover cheese, cut into small pieces (3 oz)
1 tablespoon chopped herbs, tarragon, parsley and chives all work well
500 g puff pastry (1 1/8 lbs)
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • The first thing to do is to make a thick white sauce that will be the base of the turnover filling. Bring the milk to a simmer, then add the butter and flour paste. Whisk the paste into the simmering milk and allow it to boil for 3-4 mins, whisking gently all the time to prevent it from scorching. You should now have a very thick white sauce. Cool the sauce in a bowl. Fry the mushrooms in the oil for 3-5 mins until golden, then leave to cool.
  • Place the ham, cheese and mushrooms into a bowl, then gradually add the white sauce until everything is well coated. Finally, add the herbs.
  • Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to about the thickness of a £1 coin (1/16 inch) and cut out 4 saucer-size rounds re-rolling the trimmings if you need to. Brush the edges of each round with beaten egg. Spoon the mixture onto 1 side of each round, then fold over and seal the edges well. The turnovers can now be frozen for up to 1 month. Brush the turnover with the remaining egg, then chill for 30 minutes.
  • .
  • Heat oven to 200C/ fan/gas 6. Place the turnovers on a baking sheet and bake for about 35 mins until puffed up and golden. Leave to cool slightly and enjoy warm.

I had some trouble getting the turnovers to stay closed. I think I need to work on my folding skills.

These turnovers were a bit greasy for my taste. I think I would try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, but I still liked these turnovers. The ham and cheese flavors were strong enough to mask the mushrooms.

I made a few changes to the recipe. I used a different type of cheese and I added some chopped green onions to the filling. The turnovers were still delicious.

I used a blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheese in the filling and it was perfect. The mozzarella melted beautifully and the cheddar gave it a nice sharp flavor.

I had some trouble getting the pastry to seal properly. Maybe I didn't roll it out thin enough.
