- 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
