Savory Pie with Ham and Stracchino is very quick, delicious, and flavorful! You can serve it hot or cold, and it is perfect for a quick and hearty dinner. Simple pies are the best; have you tried the pie with peppers and scamorza or the quick and easy Caprese pie? Today I wanted to try this version with puff pastry, ham, and stracchino. Potatoes would also go well, but I did not include them this time. Like many pies of this type, it can be prepared well in advance and served as a main course, or as an appetizer if cut into cubes.
