    Make A Family Breakfast Turnover

    Make a family Breakfast Turnover for Sunday morning. It's filled with ham, eggs, cheese and earthy mushrooms, wrapped in flakey puff pastry.


    I say anything wrapped in puff pastry wins. And when it's breakfast, it's even better. All the things you love in one giant turnover, makes a delicious family-style brunch dish everyone will devour.

    I wanted a flavorful, savory turnover that had all the elements you'd love in a great omelet. I sautéed mushrooms and added thyme leaves. I used Fontina cheese for a stout kick and salty Black Forest ham to round out the egg combo.

    Wrapping all of this in puff pastry turns it into an adult pop tart! Haha. But giant-sized, so you get to share! Using premade puff pastry makes this process a cinch. Just a couple of turns with the rolling pin gets the square to the perfect size. And it's simple to fill: layer on your toppings, fold over and seal the edges.

    Make this tasty Breakfast Turnover with other combos and flavors of veggies and cheese. It's delicious any way you slice it!

    Fontina cheese heralds from Italy, and there are Swedish and Danish versions. It's a rich, pungent, almost mushroomy-tasting cheese that melts like a dream. It pairs well with my additions of mushrooms and thyme.

    You can play around with other combos for this giant breakfast turnover. Use other cheeses, veggies, and even sausage (or no meat at all!). It's a great technique for making a delicious brunch dish!
