Questions about Cheese-filled turnover
How do you bake a cheese-filled turnover so the pastry stays crisp?
For a homemade turnover, bake it on a preheated tray at 200 °C (180 °C fan) until deep golden, usually 20–25 minutes. Let it rest for a few minutes before eating so the hot cheese filling can settle.
How do you stop cheese filling leaking out of a turnover?
Use a cool, fairly firm filling and leave a clear border around the pastry. Press out trapped air, dampen the edge with water, then crimp it firmly with a fork; cut a small steam vent in the top.
Can you reheat a cheese-filled turnover?
Yes. Reheat it in an oven at 180 °C for about 10–15 minutes, until the centre is piping hot; an air fryer also works well. Avoid the microwave if you want crisp pastry, as it tends to turn soft.
How should you store leftover cheese-filled turnovers?
Cool leftovers promptly, refrigerate them in a covered container and eat within two days. Reheat until piping hot; the pastry is usually crispest when reheated in the oven rather than the microwave.
What goes well with a cheese-filled turnover?
Serve it with a sharp green salad, tomato salad or roasted vegetables to balance the rich filling. A spoonful of tomato relish or chutney also works well.
Can you freeze cheese-filled turnovers?
Freeze unbaked turnovers in a single layer until firm, then pack them airtight. Bake from frozen, adding extra time and checking that the pastry is golden and the centre piping hot; cooked turnovers can also be frozen, though the pastry may soften slightly.
What can you use instead of a cheese-filled turnover?
For a similar portable pastry, choose a cheese pasty or cheese-filled puff pastry. Cheese ravioli is a different sort of meal, but makes a good alternative if you want cheese with pasta rather than pastry.
