Very disappointed in the pastry. Think I am going to modify this the next time with an alt pastry to build up on. Everything else was good, and melded together nicely.

I was out of chives so made it w/out but will add them next time. This was a hit with my family! It was requested that this be part of our yearly Christmas menu!
