  • 6 eggs
  • 6–8 cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

Method

  • COMBINE the flour, salt and butter in a food processor and process until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk and enough water to make a soft dough. Gently knead until smooth. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

  • ROLL out the pastry on a floured board to fit a 30cm pizza tray. Top with the vegetable mixture, PHILLY and ham, leaving a 5cm border. Fold the pastry border over the filling, pleating the excess pastry as you go. Crack the eggs evenly over the ham then top with tomatoes and Parmesan.
