Ham and Leek Pie
This creamy ham and leek pie with puff pastry is the ultimate comfort food! Perfect for using leftover ham, this easy dinner recipe is rich, savory, and family-friendly.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter,
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 leeks, finely sliced
- 2 large potatoes, cut into small cubes
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- 300 ml chicken or ham stock
- 100 ml sour cream or crème fraîche, (heavy cream or double cream may also be used)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon or yellow mustard
- 1½ to 2 cups cooked ham, sliced
- 1 pack puff pastry,
- 1 egg, beaten, for glazing (milk may also be used)
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and leeks, cover, and cook very gently for about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes then continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes until the leeks and potatoes are soft.
- Stir in the flour, then increase the heat slightly. Pour in the stock, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens a little. Remove from the heat, then stir in the sour cream, mustard, and ham. Season to taste. If time allows, let the filling cool. Transfer the mixture to a large pie dish.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness. Lay it over the pie dish, trimming any excess as needed. Brush the top with beaten egg, then cut a few slits in the pastry to allow the steam to escape.
- This can be prepared up to a day in advance and kept chilled. When ready to bake, cook for 30–35 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden and the filling is heated through.
