3 mild Italian Sausages ( or spicy if you like a little kick)
1/2 of a 397g package frozen puff pastry, thawed
7 eggs, divided
pinch each black pepper and dried oregano leaves or thyme leaves
3-4 slices smoked deli ham, each sliced into 3 pieces
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Squeeze sausage meat from casings into a frying pan (I love my cast iron one for this) and set over medium high heat. Break meat up with a spatula and stir until no pink remains, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Roll pastry into a rough circle about 12 in in diameter. Place in a 9 in pie plate and let edges hang over the sides.
- Whisk 6 eggs with pepper and oregano. Spoon a little of the egg mixture into a saucer and set aside. Scrape sausage mixture into pie shell. Arrange ham overtop, pour in egg mixture, then tilt plate to distribute evenly. Sprinnkle with cheese. In small overlapping sections, fold pastry up toward centre of pie tightly, with just a small hole showing. Puff pastry is very elastic, so don't be afraid to tug. Brush top with reserved egg mixture.
- Bake in centre of oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and crack remaining egg in hole in centre of pie. Carefully return to oven and continue to bake until pastry is golden and egg is set, about 15 minutes more. Remove to a wire rack and let stand about 8 minutes before serving.
