There’s lots of uses for these pastries. School lunches, party nibbles, picnic food, to name a few. The great thing is that you can make a batch and freeze them until you need them.

HAMBURGER AND ONION PIE
I’m not really sure about the name of this dish. I guess it’s a pie because it has a pastry base, but it has a sort of bouillabaisse filling topped with custard – a bit odd altogether. While I’m posting it here I haven’t actually made it. I think I’d better and possibly rename it as well…….
ITALIAN OMELETTE
Looking for an easy weekend dinner for the family? This omelette filled with with ham, onion, cheese and pasta could be it. That’s not to say that it wouldn’t make a great lunch for friends if you jazz it up with a fancy salad and bread from your local bakery.
LEEK, PROSCIUTTO AND RICE FRITTATA
I’m wondering if this would taste as good cold as it does hot. If it does, it could be a yummy slice to take on a picnic. Something to try out on our next picnic lunch maybe……
CURRIED ZUCCHINI PUFFS – Curried Vegetable rolls
There was a time when everyone seemed to grow zucchinis in their backyards and happily gave them away, so lots of zucchini recipes were published. This is one of the more unusual ideas published in The Sun newspaper. The mix of vegetables, curry, sultanas and chutney all wrapped in pastry sounds good, although I think you’d want to watch that it wasn’t too moist and soaked through the pastry. It would make a change from meat filled sausage rolls though.
LEEK ROULARDE WITH RICOTTA CORN FILLING
This roulade looks delicious, but it’s definitely a recipe that you need to take your time with, especially the rolling. While you can make it a couple of hours before guests arrive, unfortunately it’s not something you can make well ahead of time. It’s worth the effort though.
PEA SOUFFLE OMELETTES
Plain omelettes, cheese omelettes, ham omelettes, Spanish omelettes, the list goes on, but this is the first time I’ve seen a recipe for a pea omelette and a pea souffle omelette at that. Very fancy and perhaps good enough to serve up as a lunch dish or even an entree.
CHEESE AND VEGETABLE MOUSSAKA
Dietary requirements for friends visiting isn’t as easy as it used to be. Back in the day, we just decided on a menu, cooked it and people ate it. That seems like Good Old Days!!! Now there’s a lot more things to consider, gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, etc. This recipe works for vegetarians and even the gluten free with a slight change to GF flour in the cheese sauce, so maybe it’s a problem solver.
CORN AND PEANUT BUTTER MUFFINS
Something for the kids’ lunchboxes or your own!! A batch of these in the freezer might be useful for those days when you’re in a rush or you’ve just run out of ideas…………..
BAKED SPAGHETTI FRITTATA
This is a great recipe for using up leftover pasta. A good combination of vegetables, pasta, cheese and ham. A terrific easy weekend meal.
