Classic Cheesy Ham and Broccoli
Using a pocket pie maker or hand pie cutter is a fantastic way to make individual, portable savory pies. This rich, melty filling holds its shape beautifully inside a double crust.

THE ULTIMATE SHINY EGG WASH:
Instructions
TO ASSEMBLE:
Step 1
In a medium bowl, mix the diced ham, cheddar cheese, chopped broccoli, green onions, Dijon mustard, and one beaten egg until fully combined.
Step 2
Place your bottom crust into the hand pie cutter, add a heaping tablespoon of filling into the center, top with the second crust, and press the tool firmly to cut and seal.
THE ULTIMATE SHINY EGG WASH:
Step 3
Whisk the egg, salt, & water together in a small bowl until completely smooth.
Step 4
Make sure there are no remaining stringy bits of egg white. Use a pastry brush to apply a thin, even coat over the top of the hand pies right before they go into the oven.
Step 5
Avoid letting the egg wash pool in the creases, or it will bake into a yellow omelette texture.
Step 6
If you want a savory crunch, sprinkle everything bagel seasoning, course sea salt, or dried parsley over the wet egg wash before baking.
