Steps
The savory pie with speck is very easy and quick to prepare. First, unroll the puff pastry and fill one half with a few slices of speck.
Spread a little spreadable cheese on top, add the mozzarella slices, sliced and salted cherry tomatoes, black pepper, oregano, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and the remaining slices of speck.
Close the savory pie by folding the free pastry over the filling, seal the edges, and fold them inwards. Brush the surface with the beaten egg, make small cuts with a knife, and add the sesame seeds.
Bake the savory pie with speck in a preheated oven at 392°F for 25/30 minutes until it is golden brown.
Tips:
The savory pie with speck can be kept at room temperature for a few hours or in the fridge for a couple of days. You can replace the cherry tomatoes with tomato sauce seasoned with oil, salt, pepper, and oregano. Instead of mozzarella, you can use any melting cheese you prefer.
