Cheesy Ham Galette

Name: Cheesy Ham Galette
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 50 min
Total time: 1 h 5 min
Yield: 6 serving(s)
Ingredients: 320 g ready rolled shortcrust pastry sheet, we used Jus-Rol; 75 g Parma ham slices; 100 g floury potatoes, peeled and cut into 2mm slices, with a mandolin if possible; 200 g ready-made fresh cheese sauce; 1 egg, lightly beaten; 25 g Emmental cheese, grated; 50 g block/firm mozzarella, grated

This cheesy tart is the perfect comfort food to warm you up. You want the firm type of mozzarella sometimes sold as ‘pizza mozzarella’ for this, the balls of soft mozzarella sold in bags of whey are too soft and moist. If you aren’t keen on Parma ham, you can substitute any other thinly sliced cured meat.

Ingredients

320 g ready rolled shortcrust pastry sheet, we used Jus-Rol
75 g Parma ham slices
100 g floury potatoes, peeled and cut into 2mm slices, with a mandolin if possible
200 g ready-made fresh cheese sauce
1 egg, lightly beaten
25 g Emmental cheese, grated
50 g block/firm mozzarella, grated

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment. Unroll the pastry on to the lined baking sheet and prick the base all over with a fork.
2. Step 2Leaving a 4cm border around the pastry edges, arrange the Parma ham over the pastry with the slices slightly overlapping each other. Arrange the potatoes in an overlapping layer on top of the ham. Spoon over with cheese sauce and gently smooth to level with the back of a spoon. Season.
3. Step 3Fold in the pastry border so it just starts to cover the filling, gently pressing the corners to seal. Brush visible pastry with egg. Cook in oven for 35min until golden. Sprinkle both cheeses over the filling and return to the oven for 15min until melted and golden brown. Using a spatula, carefully lift one short side of the galette to check that the pastry is cooked underneath. Cool on the baking sheet for 5min before transferring to a board and serving with a green salad.
