This was delicious and it looked fabulous! This recipe was truly a big hit with all my skeptical, non-vegetarian guests as well! My only changes were that I used Italian bread crumbs instead of plain (those were on hand) and I added a handful or two more of the corn. The puff pastry brushed with egg turned out nice and golden brown. And the sherry/leek sauce that went with it added such a nice touch to the nuttyness of the filling. Delicious!
