Do you think these could be put into the pastry in advance then brushed with egg and cooked when needed? Or do you think that would just make for soggy pastry?
Not sure seeing as there is cream in them. Do a trial run. Sound nice.

Hmmm, I wouldn't make the parcels and then let them "sit", I'd bang them in the oven right away.Annabelle Langbein (sp?) recommends that you have a baking tray in the oven whilest it's coming up to temperature and then to place your pie dish on top of that so that it ensures a crispy bottom rather than a soggy bottom.I've tried it and it works!!

probably would be ok, I would though put some baking paper on the tray and leave them prepared on what you are going to bake them on, keep in the fridge though.

Still unsure what to do about these parcels, think I might make the filling in advance, but not put in pastry until I have to
