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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Dice the cooked ham into small cubes and set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Gently stir in the diced ham and shredded cheese into the egg mixture.

Step 5

On a clean surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut each into thirds, creating 6 equal rectangles in total.

Step 6

Place each puff pastry rectangle on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.

Step 7

Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the ham and egg mixture onto one half of each pastry rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, cut a small slit on the top of each pie to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the pies cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious ham and egg pies!
