There is nothing quite as fantastic and a crispy fragrant pastry filled with amazing cheesy ooze and salty ham after a hard day's night! Whether you eat these fresh off the press or if you freeze and reheat, you are going to love them. Don’t just save them for snackery! Think hearty breakfast, or lunch, with a salad and friends!
These can easily be assembled the day before needed and either refrigerated or frozen prior to baking. Add a little to the baking time as needed to compensate. Thus they would be a great Christmas breakfast inclusion. I am pretty sure you'll be making them again!
These are so good we included them in The Weekend Table late night snacking chapter...time to get that book while stocks last.
