Oven Recipe
- Preheat oven to 200C fan forced. Line a large oven tray with baking paper. Cut pastry sheet into 6 even rectangles (8cm x 12cm). Use the tip of a sharp knife to cut a 1.5cm border in pastry but without cutting all the way through pastry. This will allow the pastry to form a vol au vent style casing for the egg.
- Place on oven tray. Whisk one of the eggs and brush around the border section of pastry pieces. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until puffed and golden. Cool for 2 minutes. Use the back of a spoon to press down centre of puffed pastry leaving border around sides.
- Reduce oven to 180C. Spread pesto over base of each pastry. Top with half of the grated cheese and ham. Make a well in the centre of cheese and ham. Break an egg into it. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until egg white has set. Serve topped with relish and chives if using.
Air Fryer Recipe
- Line air fryer base with a sheet of baking paper. Make pastries as above in step 1. Cook three pastries without filling at 180C for 4-5 minutes until puffed and golden. Turnover and cook the bases for 1 minute.
- Remove pastry cases to a clean board to assemble. Repeat air frying remaining 3 cases. Press down the puffed centre of pastries and top with filling as above in step 3. Air fry, three at a time, at 160C for 8-9 minutes or until egg is set.
Tips & Hints:
- We used Sacla Pesto
- Use a good quality puff pastry such as Careme to achieve a well risen pastry case.
