Method

  1. Heat oil in a fry pan. Add leek and cook until softened
  2. Add ham, thyme, cranberries, cream and mustard and cook for a further 4 minutes or until cream has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and set aside to let cool.
  3. Meanwhile, cut each pastry sheet into 4 squares. Place tbls of cooked ham mix into each square.
  4. Moisten the edges of the pastry with a bit of water and roll filling into pastry creating a cigar shape placing the seam side down. Using a fork, crimp the edges of the cigar shape, ensuring a tight seal.
  5. Arrange packets on a baking paper lined tray. Brush each pocket with the melted butter and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Place in an 200C oven for 15 – 20 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.
