Leftover Gammon Pie Recipe
Leftover Gammon Pie
These pies were so easy to make, Ella was able to do most of the work! She loves to help make dinner but she sometimes rushes ahead and doesn’t listen to instructions. She did really well with these pies, though, and she loved eating them for dinner 🙂

I think we’re going to try making these using bacon next. Bacon is a favourite of everyone here and I think it will work really well.
We always just put leftover meat in the fridge for people to snack on but now I’m thinking we should keep a packet of puff pastry in the fridge so we can make pies with all the leftovers, of which there are usually lots!
Ingredients
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium potato, chopped into small cubes
- 200g leftover gammon, chopped into small cubes
- Oil or low-calorie cooking spray
- 1 packet puff pastry
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp tomato puree
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C/Gas 4
- Fry the onion in the oil (or low-calorie cooking spray) until soft.
- Add the potatoes and cook on a low light for 8-10 minutes until the potatoes are soft. Make sure to keep stirring occasionally so it doesn't stick.
- Add the gammon and tomato puree and stir well
- Roll out the pastry until it's big enough to cut into six rectangles.
- Put a generous dollop of the gammon mixture onto the pastry making sure to keep it away from the edges.
- Using the beaten egg, brush around the edge of the pastry on the half with the filling then fold over the pastry to make parcels.
- Seal the edges then press a fork all around the edge to make sure it's sealed and leave a decorative edge.
- Cut a little cross in the top of the pie and brush all over with beaten egg.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden
When we’re cooking a meal I’m going to be eating we use Fry Light but if I’m not having any, like these pies (the Slimming World syns for pastry can be quite high) we use olive oil or rapeseed oil.
I have an infographic to share with you that will help you buy the right kind of olive oil for your needs courtesy of Jamie’s Italian.
