Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 375g packet ready-rolled puff pastry
  • 1 egg , beaten
  • 100ml crème fraîche
  • 8 slices good-quality roast ham (cooked on the bone, then sliced, a deli will have it)
  • handful flat leaf parsley , roughly chopped

Instruction

  • Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Put pastry on a baking sheet and score a line about 3cm inside to create a border. With a fork, prick inside the border only. Brush all over with the beaten egg.
  • Bake the pastry for 12 mins until well risen. Spread the creme fraiche within the pastry border, season with pepper and return to the oven for a further 8-10 mins.
  • Take from the oven when well coloured, drape the sliced ham over, then sprinkle with the parsley. Serve with a roast vegetable or tomato and red onion salad.
