Categories: Casseroles- One Dish Meals-Meat pies

Ingredients

• 3 oz. finely chopped ham
• 2 oz. shredded cheese such as cheddar, Swiss or manchego
• 2 green onions, finely diced
• Ground black pepper
• 1 box refrigerated pie crusts
• 1 egg, beaten
• Mustard, chutney or jam, for serving

Directions

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the ham, cheese, green onion and a generous grind of black pepper.
3. Unroll pie crusts according to package instructions. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, cut crusts into 24 circles. You will need to gently, but firmly press together the scrapes to cut the last 4 circles of dough.
4. Arrange 12 of the dough circles on the prepared baking sheet. Top each circle with about 1 Tbsp. of ham-cheese mixture, leaving 1/4-inch border around the rim of the dough. Brush one side of the remaining 12 dough circles with beaten egg. Top the ham and cheese, egg-side down, with the circles. Press dough firmly and crimp edges with the tines of a fork to seal. Pierce the top of each hand pie with fork to vent. Brush tops with egg. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with mustard, chutney or jam.
