6 Method Steps
- Step 1Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan forced.
- Step 2Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic and thyme. Cook, stirring, for 4 minutes or until softened. Add zucchini and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until softened. Add flour and stir until combined. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in ham and corn. Season. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Step 3Grease a 22 x 28cm (base measurement) rectangular baking dish. Use the shortcrust pastry to line the base and sides of the dish. Trim excess pastry.
- Step 4Place a 28cm-long piece of baking paper on a work surface. Cut the puff pastry into 2.5cm-wide strips. Arrange 8 Pastry Strips across the baking paper. Arrange the remaining pastry strips in the opposite direction (joining strips together to make longer strips, if necessary), layering to create a lattice pattern
- Step 5Whisk 8 of the eggs and the milk in a large bowl until combined. Season. Transfer the ham mixture to the pastry case. Pour over egg mixture. Sprinkle with the cheese. Brush some of the extra egg around the edge of the pastry. Top with the latticed pastry strips. Trim excess. Brush with a little more egg.
- Step 6Bake for 45 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the filling is set. Set aside for 15 minutes to cool slightly before serving.
