Here is our favorite Ham recipe for this winter.

Serves: 6
Cook Time: 1 Hour

Ingredients

  • For Pastry Crust:
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening, chilled
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • (Can also substitute a store-bought double pie crust)
  • Filling:
  • 1 cup Smithfield Ham,chopped
  • 5 eggs
  • 1/3 cup Swiss cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chives, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • For Egg Wash:
  • Whisk together 1 egg and 1 teaspoon milk

 

Steps

If you opt for frozen store-bought crusts, set them out to thaw according to the package instructions. To make your own crust, start by dissolving the yeast in warm milk and sugar. Set aside for a few minutes until the mixture begins forming bubbles. Add the egg and set aside. Cut the vegetable shortening into the flour using your fingers or a pastry cutter. Add the liquid mixture to flour and blend. Divide the dough into two pieces to fit your pie dish.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

To make the filling, begin by beating the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add in the cheeses, ham, parsley, chives and pepper. Stir until combined.

Line the bottom of a pie plate with one crust, leaving about an inch overhang. Fill the pie crust with the ham and egg mixture. Cover with the remaining crust. Decoratively crimp the edges and cut slits in the top for steam to escape. Brush with egg wash and place in the oven for approximately 1 hour or until a knife comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Serve slightly warm.

Make your next trip to Big Bear the best ever! Dont forget our many promotions on Facebook.
