Method

  • Begin by making the pastry - whiz flour and salt in a food processor
  • Drizzle in oil and then water
  • Process for about 1 minute until mixture forms a ball
  • Transfer to a floured work surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until supple and smooth
  • Put into a bowl, cover with a clean cloth and refrigerate for at least 1 hour
  • Mix the crème fraiche with the mustard and set aside
  • Slice the tomatoes
  • Preheat the oven to 200C To Assemble: Divide the pastry into two and roll one round of pastry about 25cm diameter (the size of a large dinner plate)
  • Roll second half so that it is a little larger in size about 20cm diameter (this is the top)
  • Lightly oil a large baking sheet and place the smaller of the two rounds on the tray
  • Spread the crème fraiche mixture over the base allowing 2 cm from the edge
  • Place the sliced ham over the crème fraiche then layer over the tomatoes and finally add the cheese
  • Place the second round over the pie and allow the pastry to fall over the mixture
  • Seal edges, then fold extra pastry from base to over sealed edges and press together
  • Pierce top here and there with a fork and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil
  • Scatter with the sea salt and bake in preheat oven for 30-40 mins or until golden and pastry is cooked
  • Remove from oven and cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting
