Ham and Camembert Pastry Pie

This ham and pastry pie is the perfect cheesy dish for any cheese lover!

Supplies

  • 1 whole camembert
  • 6-8 slices of prosciutto
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • Small bunch of rosemary
  • 1 pack of puff pastry
  • 1 egg yolk, beaten
  • Flour for dusting

Steps

  1. Slice the top of the cheese off, peel the garlic and finely slice and pick the rosemary.
  2. Into the cheese lay the garlic cloves and sprinkle over the rosemary, pushing some in where you can. Place the lid of the cheese back on and wrap the cheese in the ham. You want to wrap it so the whole wheel is covered, matching the ends round the other side of the cheese.
  3. Once the cheese is covered in the ham, wrap in the sheet of pastry. It might be easier to trim the pastry so it is a square, and match the points to each other in the reverse side of the cheese. Pinch the pastry together and cut off any excess. The bottom should be flat and fairly smooth.
  4. Brush with the egg wash and do whatever pattern you wish to on top. Bake at 200°C for around 20 minutes, until the pastry is golden and puffy.
