Cheese And Chutney Turnover Recipes

Steps:

• Press softened cream cheese into oiled mold of desired shape. (For easy removal, spray mold with cooking spray and line with plastic wrap if desired.) , Unmold on chilled plate. Pour chutney over mold; sprinkle with onions. Ring plate with crackers (buttery crackers are especially good with this appetizer). Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Reserve two tbsp of chutney.
• Mix cream cheese, cheese, scallions and curry power and 1 1/2 T of chutney. Place puff pastry on work surface, and cut each sheet into 12 equal squares.
• Equally divide filling between the 24 squares in the center, top evenly with remaining chutney (not the reserved).
• Put egg in a small bowl and beat.
• Egg wash edges, fold over diagonally, and crimp.
• Bake at 400° for 10 minutes, brush with reserved chutney, and bake for 6 minutes more.

Steps:

• Lay 6 slices of the bread on a cutting board and brush each slice generously with the butter. Turn the slices over and spread each one with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the chutney. Place 1/2 cup of the Cheddar evenly on each slice and place the remaining 6 slices of bread on top of each sandwich. Brush the tops generously with melted butter.
• Heat a panini press (see Cook's Note) and grill the sandwiches according to the directions for the machine, until the bread is nicely browned on both sides and the Cheddar is starting to melt.
• Place the sandwiches on a cutting board and cut each one in half diagonally. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Unravel the pastry on the sheet of baking parchment it comes with, and cut into six squares. Mix the soft cheese with the mustard, if using, and a good grinding of black pepper. Divide between the middles of the pastry squares, and smooth over in a diagonal line from one corner to the opposite side.
• Lay a bacon rasher over the soft cheese, then scatter over the cheese. Brush the two exposed corners of pastry with beaten egg, and fold over the top of the filling to join together. Brush the tops with more egg, then slide the baking parchment on to a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 mins until the cheese has melted and the pastry is golden.
• Transfer to a cooling rack for 5-10 mins before serving warm. Will keep chilled in an airtight container for two-three days.

Steps:

• Combine pastry dry ingredients in a food processor. Pulse in butter 10 seconds, then water for 10 seconds. Form into a ball and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Roll pastry in a 12x12 rectangle. Cut into nine even squares. Cover and set aside while preparing filling.
• For filling, beat together cheese and yolk until combined. Add preserves and mix well. Spoon equal amounts of mixture onto each pastry square.
• Moisten edges of pastry with water. Fold to form a triangle and seal edges with the tines of a fork. Brush with egg white and dust with sugar.
• Cut 2-3 air vents in the top of each turnover. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
• For icing, beat sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Place icing in a sandwich baggie, nip off 1/8" of one corner. Squeeze icing over warm turnovers.
