Ingredients
  

  • 1 Refrigerated Pie Crust 9 inch
  • 9 slices Ham Two inch, leftovers, or deli meat
  • 1 cup Shredded Fontina Cheese Or any cheese of your choice--try swiss or cheddar or provolone!
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 1 Egg Plus 1 tablespoon of water (to make the egg wash)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Unroll the refrigerated pie crust. Follow package instructions for letting the temperature rise a little so it’s pliable. Once you have unrolled it and you have a flat surface, use your biscuit cutter to punch out 9 circles (I have a 3 1/2" cutter; if yours is smaller you’ll have more)
  • Lay a slice of ham on one half of each pie dough round. Top with a little cheese and then sprinkle each with a little of the brown sugar.
  • Fold each round in half and press the edges together to seal. Cut a small “X” into each hand pie so they don’t explode in the oven.
  • Beat together the egg and water. Place each hand pie on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the egg wash.
  • Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the tops are a pretty golden brown.
  • You can serve these with Dijon mustard if you’d like.

Notes

Tools You'll Need:
  • a 3-4” biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter, OR a floured juice glass with a wide mouth (jars work, too)
  • a brush for the egg wash
