[email protected]Overall, I thought these cheese turnovers were pretty good. The dough was flaky and the cheese filling was creamy and flavorful. However, I found them to be a bit too greasy for my taste.

[email protected]These turnovers were a disappointment. The dough was dry and crumbly, and the cheese filling was bland. I won't be making these again.

[email protected]Not a fan of the dough. It was too thick and chewy for my taste. The cheese filling was good though.
