We cook this breakfast pie in the smoker after a long nite of smoking. It is real easy and good. Top it with some salsa or what ever you like.
Eggs and Ham Pie
1 package (14 oz.) frozen puff pastry, thawed (frozen, store bought puff pastry is fine)
1/2 lb ham, thinly sliced
7 large eggs
3 Tbs green onions, finely chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Egg Wash:
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 Tbs milk
1 Have ready a 9 inch (23 cm) quiche pan or pie plate.
2 On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry to fit the quiche dish or pie plate. After lining the dish with the puff pastry, arrange 1/2 of the ham on top of the pastry. Break the 7 eggs and place evenly spaced around the quiche pan. Prick each yolk with a fork but do not stir yolks and whites together. Sprinkle green onions, salt and pepper over eggs and top with remaining ham. Roll the second sheet of puff pastry to fit over pan. Cover pie with the second sheet of puff pastry, pinching the two sheets of puff pastry together and then trim off excess pastry. Gather up leftover scraps and roll out to make cut outs in various shapes. Place on top of puff pastry crust.
3 Egg Wash: Beat egg with milk and brush the top of the puff pastry. Bake in smoker for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Serve hot or cold.
