- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
- Bake pastry shells according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour until smooth. Dissolve bouillon in the 1/2 cup hot water.
- Slowly add milk and bouillon/water mixture to the saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
- Reduce heat; add the cheese, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Stir until cheese is melted.
- Add the ham, peas if desired, olives (mushrooms), pimientos and parsley; heat through. Serve in pastry shells. Yield: 6 servings.
