A quick snack on a combination of 'southern' flavours

Without a plan, and having limited time to prepare a snack and share it with friends over a glass of wine, and living room atmosphere, also allowing us to be standing up and share from a plate in the middle of it all, helping in creating a day party (including children), and also looking for an easy way of 'expensive taste' and also 'not aiming at getting stuffed' as we would under a normal dinner party with invitations, I ve come up with the following recipie: tried and tested to be an absolute 'success' combined with a glass of white wine (only for the adults in the party).

Main ingredients bought from an average grocery store:

Puff pastry
Mozarella
Ham (cooked)
Tomatoes
Eggs (hard boiled)
Butter (melted)

Preheat the oven whilst preparing the 'greek zamponotyropitta' (ie. Ham and cheese 'pie'). Roll out the pastry and cut out in a circle. Put sliced ham on and mozzarella broken into pieces. On top slices of tomatoes. Season (salt and pepper). Take one side of the pastry and over to the other side (shape of a semi circle). With a fork push the edge round the semi circle. Pierce the top with your fork (a couple of times). Brush melted butter and put in the oven. (Usually brownish after 15-20 mins). Boil an egg (secret put some salt into the boiling water so the egg doesn't crack). It needs to be hard boiled (10 mins). When the pie is cooked, take it out on a big plate , cut it in pieces (that way its not so hot when you eat it). Peel the shell out of the hard boiled egg and cut it in thick pieces (at the side of the same plate) and season with salt and cayenne pepper.

You can add some crisps on the side of the plate or a little salad portion of your choice. When you hold it up for your friends to come and share its the 'party' way and also you can make more (one plate between two friends) and still you can stand up, share and conveniently gets you out of the 'formality' of sitting around a table. A Quick Fix of 'expensive taste and party atmosphere. Secret : it has to be enjoyed straight out of the oven for maximum pleasure. As you make the plater (s) you can still allow your 'party friends' to stand with their shared plate by you in the kitchen, and eat . This combination of simple flavours is 'surpisingly' tasteful too!
