Chutney and Ham Pastry

By JimMac

Ingredients

• 1 box of 2 pie crusts (available in the dairy section of your local grocery store)
• 115 grams (4 oz.) cream cheese, softened
• 50 mL (1/4 cup) sour cream
• 2 scallions, chopped
• 50 mL (1/4 cup) onion, chopped
• 255 grams (9 oz.) shaved honey ham, divided
• 250 mL (1 cup) mango chutney, divided
• 15 mL (1 tbsp.) melted butter
• Parchment paper, placed on a large baking sheet

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F).
2. Open and unroll both pie crusts and place on a large baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, scallions, sour cream and onion; mix thoroughly.
4. Build the pastries burrito-style; divide chutney into two parts (50 mL/1/4 cup each) and place on pie crusts length-wise. Divide cream cheese mixture and place on top of chutney. Divide ham and layer on top of cream cheese mixture.
5. Fold pie crusts as you would a tortilla for a burrito, folding ends in first and then sides.
6. Flip the pastries over so that folded sides are on the parchment.
7. Cut three thin (2.5cm/1") slices into the pastries to allow them to breathe. Brush both pastries with melted butter and place in the oven until pastry is golden brown.
8. Allow to sit for 15 minu
