Ingredients
- 300 g cooked ham (we used 50% ham chunks and 50% ham hock)
- 3 large leeks
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 shallots
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 25 g unsalted butter
- Handful parsley
- 200 ml vegetable stock
- 250 g creme fraiche
- 2 tsp ground black pepper
- 250 g premade puff pastry
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Chop your ham into small chunks if not already done. Finely slice the leeks and finely chop the garlic, shallot and parsley. Set all aside individually.
- Add the butter and olive oil to a pan on medium heat. Once the butter has melted and is starting to froth, add the garlic and shallot for 1-2 minutes until it starts to brown. Then, add in the leeks and cook until soft (around 5 minutes).
- Add the ham, black pepper and the stock. Bring to the boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Add in the creme fraiche and parsley, turn off the heat and stir to combine.
- Add the mixture into a pie tin or small oven-safe dish. Place a layer of the pre-rolled puff pastry over the top and attach to the sides by pressing down with the back of a fork. Trim the edges off of the pastry.
- Whisk the egg until it becomes a pale yellow and lightly brush over the top of the pastry before placing the pie in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 180°C. Remove from the oven and serve.
