| Preheat the oven to 425 F. Butter and flour
a 10 inch pie pan. Roll out half the pastry to a thickness of 1/4
inch. Place the pastry in the pie pan. Place a piece of ham
in the base of the pie crust. Sprinkle some of the cheese over the
ham. Repeat layers until all the ham and cheese are used up.
Brush the edges of the pie crust with the beaten egg. Roll out the
remaining pie crust and place it over the filling. Cut away the excess
dough. Press the edges of the pie crust together between your fingers
and crimp. Brush the pie with beaten egg. Prick the surface
of the pie in several places with a fork and make a design in the surface
with a small sharp knife. Bake for 30 minutes. Reduce heat
to 350F and continue baking until the pastry is cooked. Serve
warm.
