Directions:

  1. Mix first 4 ingredients together.
  2. Cut in the butter and mix with your fingers or a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse meal.
  3. Add the water a little at a time until you have a moist, workable dough. Knead for 2 minutes. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. Blend the cheeses, the egg and the pepper in a food processor until blended but not to the cosistency of a smooth paste. You want more of a chunky paste. Put in bowl and refrigerate 1 hour.
  5. Divide the dough into walnut size pieces. You should get about 20. Roll each one into a round ball and then roll out into a 4 inch pancake shape.
  6. Place 1 heaping tsp of the cheese filling on the bottom half of the circle. Moisten the edge of the bottom half and fold the top half over onto it, to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly with the tine of a fork.
  7. Place the turnovers on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 minute or until light brown.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature.
