Servings: 6 hand tarts
Ingredients
Pastry:
- 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour (228 g)
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar (12 g)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, (170 g) cold, cut into tablespoons
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 Tablespoon whole milk
Filling:
- 6 slices deli ham
- 6 slices cheddar cheese
- additional whole milk, to brush tarts
Instructions
Pastry:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse sand. Mix in egg and milk. Mix until smooth dough forms.
- Divide into two equal parts. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for an hour, up to overnight.
Assembly:
- Preheat oven to 375℉. Working on a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 9x8-inch rectangle. Cut in half to form two 9x4-inch rectangles. Cut each into thirds crosswise to form three 4x3-inch rectangles. Repeat with second dough.
- Place a piece of cheese and ham on six rectangles, leaving a small border along the edges. Moisten edges with milk. Top with remaining rectangles. Press edges with fork to seal.
- Place assembled tarts on parchment lined baking sheet. Brush tops with additional milk. Dock with fork. Sprinkle with additional cheese, if desired.
- Bake for 17-20 minutes until tarts are golden brown. Let cool in pan for 2-5 minutes and then transfer to wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
