- 03Unfold or unroll one sheet of the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
- 04Gently roll with a rolling pin if needed and place the puff pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet and brush on the mustard/jam mixture over the puff pastry, leaving about an inch border between the mustard and the edge of pastry.
- 05Place the ham evenly over the mustard and then evenly sprinkle the grated cheese over the ham.
- 06Unfold and roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and gently place it on top of the ham and cheese and fold the outer edges over and together with your fingers, creating a thick crust.

- 09Cut a few small slits into the top/center of the pie and bake until cooked through and golden brown, for about 30 minutes.
- 10Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
