Ingredients:
- Wheat flour 300 gram
- Salt 1 pinch
- Butter 125 gram
- Egg yolk 1 piece
- Water 2 tablespoons
- Ham 300 gram
- Green onion (cut)2 tablespoons
- Cream 120 ml
- Mozzarella 50 gram
- Chicken egg 6 pieces
- Parmesan 20 gram
Cooking method:
Step 1. First prepare the dough for the base of the pie, but you can buy it (for example, puff pastry). Sift flour with salt. Separate the yolk from the protein and put in the refrigerator. Measure a little water (2-4 tbsp. L.) And put in the freezer.
Step 2 Dice cold butter. The main trick of preparing such a test is to prevent the oil from melting, so cooling is very important at all stages of preparation. You can also remove the cup (bowl) and tools in the refrigerator for half an hour.
Step 3 Grind flour and butter into crumbs. This can be done using a food processor, mixer, chop with a knife or (in extreme cases) hands. The main thing is not to get carried away, the oil may begin to melt from excessive mixing, and we do not need this at all.
Step 4 Add the yolk, 2 tbsp. tablespoons of ice water and knead the dough: a few movements with a mixer or food processor. If you knead in a food processor, the dough should begin to gather around the knife. The mixer will turn out large crumbs, as in the photo. The whole dough should be evenly moistened and begin to gather in a lump. If necessary (if there is a lot of dry flour), you can add another 1-2 tbsp. tablespoons of ice water.
Step 5Put the resulting dough onto a work surface and put it in a lump with your hands, knead a little until smooth, just for a short while, the oil should not begin to melt.
Step 6 If you feel that the butter is beginning to melt at hand, put the dough briefly in the refrigerator, for about 10 minutes.
Step 7 Remove the chilled dough, roll it to a thickness of 2-3 mm. Remove rolled dough in the refrigerator for an hour. If the dough cracks after the refrigerator during rolling, let it warm up a little (literally 1-2 minutes) and transfer it to the mold using the same baking paper on which it was rolled.
Step 8 Allow the dough to settle a little in shape, press firmly around the entire perimeter with your hands. Trim or remove excess edges with a rolling pin: roll the rolling pin along the edge of the mold.
Step 9 Paste the dough with a fork so that during baking “bubbles” do not form at the bottom and cover with baking paper. On top of the paper form tightly fill the load: beans, peas or rice. Rice is best suited, as it is most evenly attached to the dough and will not leave indentations. Put the prepared dough in the mold again in the refrigerator for an hour. Then preheat the oven to 170 degrees C and place the dough with the load inside. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove, remove rice and paper and bake for another 10 minutes.
Step 10 While the base is baking, prepare the filling. You need to cut the ham into cubes.
Step 11Then finely chop (or grate) the mozzarella.
Step 12 Chop green onions.
Step 13Mix ham, cheese, onion, cream and 3 eggs.
Step 14After the base has baked, turn on the oven 180 degrees. It is necessary to let the dough cool slightly (5 minutes), then pour the filling on top of the dough, and then break three more eggs on top, so that the yolks remain intact.
Step 14 Sprinkle with grated Parmesan and bake for 20 minutes (or a little longer until the yolks harden). The pie can be cut and served immediately, hot.
Bon Appetit!
