Ingredients

2 sheets thawed frozen puff pastry

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1 bunch asparagus, trimmed, halved lengthways

100 gram shaved ham slices

5 eggs, lightly beaten

Method

1.Preheat oven to hot, 200°C (180°C fan-forced).

2.Line a 20cm x 30cm slice pan with pastry sheets, joining and trimming to fit. Prick base all over with a fork. Bake for 8-10 minutes.

3.Remove from oven and cover with a clean tea towel, pressing down to flatten puffed base. Brush with a little of the egg. Bake for a further 4-5 minutes, or until golden.

4.Arrange onion, asparagus and ham evenly over pastry. Pour egg over, gently tilting the pan to fill gaps and corners. Bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the egg is just set. Serve.

Brushing par-baked pastry with egg helps to seal the surface, and preventing the base from going soggy when filling is added.
