Ingredients

Mushroom filling:

Wellzones:

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 (1-pound) box frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • Flour, for dusting
  • 1/2 pound filet mignon, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cheese Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup dark beer
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 cup shredded white Cheddar

Directions

Mushroom Filling:

To a large saute pan over medium heat, add the oil, mushrooms, garlic and paprika. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and saute the mushrooms until brown and tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the mushrooms to a food processor and add the mustard. Pulse until coarsely ground. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let cool.

Wellzones:

In a small bowl whisk the egg together with 2 tablespoons of water, to make an egg wash, and set aside.

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured flat surface. Lightly dust the top of the pastry with flour and roll out, using a rolling pin, until it is 1/4-inch thick. Cut out 6 large rounds about 5 inches in diameter. You can use the lid of a small pot to cut out the rounds.

Put a heaping tablespoon of the mushroom filling in the center of 1 of the puff pastry rounds. Add a heaping tablespoon of the cubed tenderloin on top of the mushroom mixture. Season with a salt and pepper, to taste. Brush the edge of the lower half of the puff pastry round with egg wash. Fold the upper half of the puff pastry round over the filling to make a half moon. Press the edges together and crimp with the tines of a fork to seal. Put on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat with remaining rounds and filling. Put the Wellzones in the refrigerator until the dough is cold and firm, about 30 minutes

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Brush the tops of the Wellzones with the egg wash and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven to a serving platter and serve hot with the cheese sauce.

Cheese Sauce:

While the Wellzones are baking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk, beer, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and white pepper and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cheese and cook until completely melted and combined. Remove from heat and serve with the Wellzones.

    Flavorful little pockets. Changed quite a few things but they came out very nice. Good basic idea you can make some changes to -I think you can put a lot of things in puff pastry and it will be yummy.

    I used left over beef roast for the meat -very good flavor and tender. I sauted some onion first then added the mushrooms and garlic. Then I added the beef, left over roast gravy and some white wine and let it all warm through and reduce. I seasoned with thyme and rosemary instead of paprika to give it a winter roast flavor. I added a little flour disolved in warmed milk to thicken the gravy portion. I placed a few asparagus spears (about 3 inch pieces spooned the meat/mushroom mixture then topped with a slice of extra sharp white cheddar and folded as directed. They came out well. I topped a few bites with a processed sharp cheddar spread instead of making the cheese sauce and it was a nice and zingy addition.

    This was yummy, but I didn't serve with the sauce. I only used 1/2 of the puff pastry dough. I also used a sil pat so I wouldn't mess my counter top up. My sauce pan top is about 5 3/4", but worked all right. I cut two circles, and gathered up the rest of the dough and made a third circle. I chopped up the mushrooms and did them in the microwave for three minutes only seasoning them with a chopped garlic clove. I thought they were quite easy to make and my husband wants them again soon. I think the circles would make easy, yummy calizones. I'll experiment soon.
