If needed, cover edge of crust with foil to prevent excess browning.

DEEP-DISH HAM PIE

• Melt butter in a saucepan; stir in flour, salt, mustard and pepper until smooth. Gradually add milk and onion; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in ham, peas and eggs. Pour into an ungreased 8-in. square or 11x7-in. baking dish. On a floured surface, roll pastry to fit top of dish; place over filling. Seal and flute edges; cut slits in the top. Bake at 425° for 25 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.

CHEESY HAM & EGG HAND PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Add the butter to a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Beat 6 of the eggs together in a bowl. When the butter has melted, add the beaten eggs and the chives to the skillet, then a pinch of salt and pepper. Scramble the eggs until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add to a bowl to cool slightly.
• Add the ham, mozzarella and Cheddar to the eggs and mix to combine. Set aside.
• Make an egg wash with the remaining egg and a splash of cold water in a small bowl.
• Lay out the sheets of puff pastry and cut into twelve 3-by-5-inch rectangles. Divide the egg mix among six of the puff pastry rectangles, leaving borders empty around the edges. Brush the borders with the egg wash and top each with another puff pastry rectangle. Using a fork, crimp the edges to seal. Transfer to the lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with the egg wash and sprinkle with the poppy seeds. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes.
• Serve hot and enjoy.

HAM, LEEK & POTATO PIE

Steps:

• Heat a large frying pan, melt the butter, then add the onion and leeks. Cover, then very gently cook for 15 mins until soft. Add the potatoes after 5 mins cooking.
• Stir in the flour, turn up the heat, then add the stock, stirring until the mix thickens a little. Take off the heat, then stir in the crème fraîche, mustard and ham. Season to taste, then cool, if you have time. Spoon the mix into a large pie dish, adding a couple of bay leaves. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7.
• Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to the thickness of a £1 coin. Cut a pastry strip the same width as the lip of the dish, wet the edge of the dish with egg, then fix the strip around it. Brush the top with egg, then lay over the remaining pastry.
• Trim pastry to the edge of the dish, then ruffle the cut edges with the knife blade to help the layers rise. Cut a few slits to let the steam escape, decorate with bay leaves, if you like, then brush all over the top with egg. Can be done up to a day ahead, keep chilled. Bake for 30 mins until risen.
