Dinner tonight was based on this recipe.  Thanks for posting the idea, Meagan.  I used onion, pumpkin and zucchini with some tomato relish and a teaspoon of vege stock concentrate as I didn't have any fresh herbs.

I served them as hamburgers on fresh made bread rolls using Isi's Very Normal Bread recipe with homemade oven fries on the side.  Needless to say, DH was a very happy man tonight.   ;D

So funny this came up - we had it last night too!! And enough for lunch today - Yay!  ;)

SNAP  ;D

Absolutely LOVE meals with enough leftover for lunch (as does DH, otherwise he doesn't take anything to work for lunch).

Made this last night - a big hit.  Didn't see your tips Nay-Nay till after, but I like the idea of using an egg into the white sauce - will do it next time :)

Made these yesterday and really happy with the results thanks to all the people who had tried them and posted their comments.  The only thing I did slightly differently was to keep them in the oven longer for some as I found that unless they were completely hard coming out of the oven, they didn't really harden up as they cooled.  For some of the bigger ones I just left them in the oven and turned it off.  After 15 or 20 more minutes they were perfect.

I just decorated some with sesame seeds, some with chia seeds, and some with dried rosemary.  Great dipped in the french onion dip that JD posted!

You reminded me that I have a few limes in the fridge that I need to use as well.  So, I went hunting...

I am going to try this Lime & Coconut Icecream with Lime Syrup - it will convert to TMX well.

That looks really good JD.  I reckon I could almost convince DH to eat pork using this recipe (he does like san choy bau).  A good way to use up leftover roast meat and I love the idea of wrapping it in filo too.  Thanks for giving suggestions of how to use it.

It's on my list!

Yep, sorry about that - JD is right, add with the rice to allow the flavour to come out.  I'll amend the recipe now.

Glad you enjoyed it KerrynN.  ;D ;D

Just want to echo everyone's thanks too Maddy.  I have made these twice this weekend and they are GREAT  ;D!  DH can't wait to take some to work for lunch this week.  DH: "They're just like REAL bakery ones" !!!  hahaha

Made these today, they are sooooooo good!  DS1 wolfed 3 down for dinner without skipping a beat.  Such a great recipe and thanks so much for posting it Denzelmum.

(I didn't have any nuts on hand that I wanted to use in these so I just omitted them - still gooooood!!)

You'll have to excuse them being wide and flat (I had a small pastry issue which I intend to resolve next time I make these, and there will definitely be a next time  ;D)

Thanks Chookie.   ;D  It seems to be the thing to do!  I do love doing it though (when I remember - I'm not as dedicated as many are).

I'm looking forward to hearing how you go too!   ;D

Just thought I'd let you know that I rescued my first split batch of EDC mayo today by emptying the jug adding another egg yolk and slowly adding the curdled mess.  All good now :)

Not sure if you're talking about Ferrero Raffaello's???

I haven't made them, but I have this recipe in my list to try...

It may help you...(she uses white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk for the centre in this version).
