    Turn filled pastries upside down on non-stick baking sheets or cookie sheets sprayed with non-stick vegetable cooking spray. Immediately bake 13 to 17 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and puffs up slightly.

    Meanwhile, prepare sauce.

    Place 1 to 2 pieces of kale on each plate; top with a little of sauce. Put pastry over sauce. Spoon a little more sauce over half of each pastry to garnish. Makes 4 servings.

    Sauce:

    1/2 cup whipping cream
    Cornstarch or flour and water (optional)

    Put champagne in small saucepan; bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer; add cream and continue to heat, stirring frequently, but do not let mixture boil. Cook 10 to 15 minutes, or until thickened and reduced.

    A mixture of small amount of cornstarch or flour and water may be added to thicken, if desired. Sauce should flow without being too thick.
