Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Butter
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons Cold water
- 4 large Eggs
- 150 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 200 grams Cooked ham, diced
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
To make the pastry, combine the flour and butter in a large bowl. Rub the butter into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Mix in the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
On a floured surface, roll out the pastry dough into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully transfer the dough into the dish, pressing it into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough.
In a large bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Sprinkle the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the pastry crust.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the ham and cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Beat the remaining egg with the milk to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pastry is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
