Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets pre-made puff pastry sheets
- 200 grams cooked ham
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 100 grams shredded cheese (cheddar or gouda)
- 50 milliliters heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, chopped)
- 1 piece egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dice the cooked ham into small cubes and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat 6 eggs and add in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and optional fresh parsley. Mix well until everything is combined.
Gently stir in the diced ham and shredded cheese into the egg mixture.
On a clean surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut each into thirds, creating 6 equal rectangles in total.
Place each puff pastry rectangle on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the ham and egg mixture onto one half of each pastry rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Fold the empty half of the pastry rectangle over the filling to create a pocket, pressing the edges together. Seal the edges by crimping them with a fork.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of milk to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Using a sharp knife, cut a small slit on the top of each pie to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the pies cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious ham and egg pies!
