Made these for a large finger food NY's spread. I omitted the chicken since I had several dishes with meat. Theses were just as delicious with only vegetables. Nice dish to make ahead and then bake on serving day too. Thanks!

I actually made these for New Years, and they were gone within hours. The only thing I would change in the recipe is the oil temperature and the cooking time...it's way easier to cook them properly and all the way through if you lower the oil temp and fry them slowly. It takes about ten minutes, but they come out crunchy and golden. Watch out, though, that filling is like lava when it comes out. :)

I did make this for a New Years party. People raved about them. I'm now "required" to make them for all upcoming parties.
