Serves 8 pieces

  1. Start by cutting the buns in half and chop up the ham, cheese and parsley.

  2. Now soak the buns in milk. They should not absorb all of the 200 ml. If you leave them in there for too long, the inside will end up being soggy and the surface will burn. So turn once or twice, place on a slightly buttered baking tray and move on to the next piece.

  3. Preheat the oven to about 180 C.

  4. In another bowl mix the eggs and the chopped ingredients well, season to taste and spread over the soaked buns.

  5. Place into the oven for about 20 to 30 minutes or until crunchy around the sides and the surface looks well done.

Do you want to make it even more yummy? For this recipe I prefer Iberico ham, you might find it also as jamon iberico. I know it is expensive but the trick is to buy the foreleg called shoulder or paleta rather than the ham (backleg). Paleta or shoulder is much cheaper and for sandwiches, pittas, rolls and “hand food” a wonderful alternative.
I buy my iberico ham at Buyjamon.com

BuyJamon.com the market place for iberico ham.
