  • Preparation: 20 min
  • Cooking: 20 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (224 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Contains: dairy, egg, gluten, mustard, pork

Ingredients

  • 70 g Puff pastry
  • 50 g Ham, cooked
  • 30 g Gruyère cheese
  • 8 g Butter, unsalted
  • 8 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 40 g Milk, whole
  • 3 g Mustard
  • 0.1 g Nutmeg
  • 0.2 g Black pepper
  • 15 g Eggs, whole, raw

Method

  1. Melt the butter in a small pan, whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in the milk and simmer until thick to make a béchamel.
  2. Off the heat, stir the mustard, nutmeg and pepper into the béchamel, then fold in the chopped ham and half the grated cheese; leave to cool.
  3. Roll the puff pastry out and cut into two squares.
  4. Spoon the cooled ham filling onto one square, leaving a border, top with the remaining cheese, brush the border with a little beaten egg, and place the second square on top, pressing the edges to seal well.
  5. Crimp the edges with a fork and brush the top with the remaining beaten egg.
  6. Bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 18-20 minutes until puffed and deep golden.
  7. Cool for 5 minutes before eating, as the filling is very hot; good warm or at room temperature.
