tablespoons butter. Add approximately 2 cups of coarsely chopped baby
portabellas, or cremini mushrooms, and shitake mushroom and diced morel
mushrooms and saute until cooked. Add additional butter if necessary
Season with Emeril's Essence. Reserve approximately 1 cup of mushroom
mixture to stuff pastry with. Set aside.

Chicken

size. Just cook until partially done or opaque. Set aside to cool.

Roux (Sauce Supreme)

Melt 4 tablespoons butter in large skillet, and add 4 tablespoons flour.
Stir and cook for a few minutes, then slowly add 1 can chicken broth to
make a smooth roux. Add approximately 1/4 cup heavy cream and stir
constantly over very low heat until all is incorporated. Shred
approximately 8 ounces of shredded Gueryre cheese. Add 4 ounces to roux
mixture and whisk to incorporate thoroughly. Reserve the remaining 4
ounces to stuff the pastry with.

Add the mushroom mixture (Duxelles) - all except 1 cup, to the mushroom
mixture (Sauce Supreme) and stir and keep warm to serve as a sauce over
the stuffed puff pastry. Do not boil or the sauce will break.

each sheet into 2 triangles. Place approximately 1/2 cup of sauted chicken
on each triangle. Sprinkle on top of the chicken a small amount of the
mushroom mixture and Gueryre cheese that you reserved from above. Fold and
