Good point, Rex, to mention the meaning of the words.
So bergere means rural or countryside.
Going to my online translator, it comes up with feuillete as foliate (adj.); laminated glass (noun); and shatterproof (another adj).
I'm making little puff pastry appetizers filled with cheese. But the translation sounds like it's shatterproof glass from the countryside.

Kopp: This is a good example of why online translators still have a long way to go. Just tell your guests that you will be serving country-style shatterproof glass and see if anyone takes a bite!
"Bergère", by the way has a general meaning of "rustic" or "country" as others have pointed out. However, it comes from "berger". which means shepherd. So far as I know, however, Gruyère cheese is made of cow's milk, so figure that one out.

Perhaps a shepardess?
My Robert leads me to believe that feuilleté/ée is the proper form. Interestingly feuillet is described as "troisième poche de l'estomac des ruminants" which means I would want to be very careful when ordering in a restaurant(cow stomach!)
