Ingredients

  • 2 puff pastry layers
  • 300 grs. of ham
  • 300 grs. of mozzarella
  • 2 eggs
  • Basil

Preparation of the Ham and cheese pie

    • Slightly stretch the two layers of puff pastry to enlarge their size. Place the first one as the base. Although it would be better to use baking paper to prevent it from sticking to the tray, you can also impregnate it with butter. In addition, heat the oven to about 180 degrees.

    • Cover the pie with the second puff pastry layer. Fold the edges over themselves to close it. Although it is not necessary, I usually press them with a fork to prevent them from opening once you put the pie in the oven.

Baked of the Ham and cheese pie

    • Before putting the pie in the oven, paint it with the beaten eggs you have saved before. Then, prick its cover layer because the heat will swell it, and, doing this, you will prevent it from breaking. Bake it at 180º for about 30 to 40 minutes. When the dough is golden brown and crispy, it will be time to remove it from the oven. Now, it is ready to eat.
