Ingredients for the Savory Pie with Cheesy Croissants
- 2 rolls puff pastry (round)
- 1.8 oz latteria cheese (or Asiago)
- 3 eggs
- 3.5 oz cooked ham
- 2.8 oz stracchino (or robiola)
Preparation
Unroll a roll of puff pastry and with its parchment paper, arrange it inside a tart pan.
Prick the base with the tines of a fork.
Unroll the second puff pastry and cut it into 8 wedges, cut the cheese into 8 strips as wide as each pastry wedge.
Place a piece of cheese on each wedge of pastry and roll it up to form a croissant.
Beat the eggs with a fork, and if you like, add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper or your choice of herbs.
I didn’t add salt because the cheese and ham are already very flavorful.
Arrange the croissants along the entire edge of the pastry, making the points meet to avoid leaving empty spaces.
Pour the beaten eggs into the pastry shell, cut the cooked ham into strips and distribute them on top.
Finish with dollops of stracchino or robiola, bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F, on the middle rack for at least 20 minutes.
Check the browning before taking it out of the oven because, as we know, each oven is different, so it might need a few more minutes.
