Method

step 1

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.
step 2

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.
step 3

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.

RECIPE TIPS

GIVE IT A TWIST

Stir 1 tbsp of Dijon mustard or horseradish cream into the crème fraîche.

MAKE IT VEGGIE

Replace the ham with mushrooms cooked in garlic butter.
