I enjoy creating special dishes for my family and friends, writes Lupie Molinar from Tucson, Arizona. Although I don't make sandwiches often, these attractive turnovers with their fresh-tasting filling are an exception. Ingredients:
2 cups broccoli florets |
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese |
1/2 cup cubed fully cooked ham |
1/2 cup sliced green onions |
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
salt and pepper to taste |
pastry for double-crust pie |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream |
Directions:
1. Place broccoli in a steamer basket over 1 in. of boiling water in a saucepan. Cover and steam for 5-8 minutes or until crisp-tender. Rinse in cold water; drain well. In a bowl, combine broccoli, cheese, ham, onions, parsley, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
2. On a floured surface, roll out pastry; cut each in half. Place 1-1/2 cups filling on one side of each half; flatten filling with a spoon. Combine egg and cream; brush some over pastry edges. Fold pastry over filling. Seal edges and prick tops with a fork.
3. Place on a baking sheet; brush with remaining egg mixture. Bake at 400° for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Yield: 4 servings.
