HAM AND SCAMORZA SAVORY PIE

Ham and scamorza savory pie perfect as a quick dinner, it is prepared in no time and is very tasty, great served in a buffet or as an appetizer. I wanted to prepare this savory pie with puff pastry in a different way from the usual and made it accordion or zigzag style, it looks beautiful to make; the puff pastry cooked really well. I used smoked scamorza cheese for this ham savory pie, alternatively, you can use plain scamorza or even pizza mozzarella. I recommend trying MORTADELLA AND POTATO SAVORY PIE, PUMPKIN AND SAUSAGE SAVORY PIE, ZUCCHINI AND TUNA SAVORY PIE, ASPARAGUS AND TUNA SAVORY PIE, POTATO SAVORY PIE, Asparagus and egg savory pie
