Preparation
Unroll the first roll of pastry on the work surface.
Arrange 8 slices of cooked ham, 8 thin slices of smoked cheese, and a little artichoke pate in a radial pattern, as shown in photo 1. If you like, here is my recipe for artichoke pate.
Place the second roll of puff pastry on top, sealing well along the entire edge.
Using a cutter, divide the savory pie into 8 wedges, each containing its filling (2).
Transfer the pie to a baking tray and brush it with the beaten egg. Sprinkle the surface with mixed seeds as you like (3).
Place in a fan oven at 355-375°F and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crispy.
