Serving Suggestions

Serve these stuffed baby yorkies warm, straight from the oven, as they are best enjoyed fresh and crisp. Pair them with a light salad or a creamy dipping sauce to complement the rich flavours. If you're planning ahead, the yorkies can be prepared a day in advance and stored in an airtight container. Reheat them in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes to regain their crispiness before serving.
