I love jambons, but there is no way I will pay £1.40 for some pastry, cheese sauce and bacon... So I decided to try to make my own with quite pleasing results.
Here is my recipie, it is not exact so feel free to queak to to your own taste.
Jambons
Ingredients
50g butter
3 Tablespn flour
150ml milk warmed
100g cheese grated
4 rashers of bacon cooked till crisp
1 pack of ready made puff pastry
eggwash to brush
Method
Melt butter over a gentle heat, add flour, stir and let cook for 2 min, slowly add milk stiring constantly until all combined or you think it is thick enough.
You should now have a thick white sauce, add grated cheese (any type you like it is a good chance to use up any little pieces that live at the back of the fridge) and stir till melted, crumble in the bacon, set aside.
Roll out the puff pastry until 3 mm thick, cut into 10cm x 10cm squares. I can get 9 usually.
Place a dollop of cheese and bacon mix in centre of each square then fold in each corner towards the middle loosely.
Place on a greased baking tray brush on eggwash and cook for 20 min or until brown at 180C
If you can wait until slighly cooled before trying one you won't burn your mouth- I never can.
