Time 1h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups (12 fluid ounces/375 milliliters) chicken broth
1/2 cup (4 fluid ounces/125 milliliters) heavy (double) cream
3 cloves garlic
5 or 6 fresh sage leaves, chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried sage
1 center-cut ham steak, about 1 1/4 pound (625 grams), or 1 1/4 pound (625 grams) good-quality baked ham, cut into slices about 1/2 inch (12 millimeters) thick

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, use a food processor to pulse the flour, butter, and salt until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Then, press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom.
  • To prevent a soggy crust, pre-bake the crust for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling.
  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for sharp cheddar cheese and flavorful ham.
  • Don't overfill the tart pan. The filling should come up to the top of the crust, but it shouldn't be overflowing.
  • Bake the torta until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This will take about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the torta cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the filling to set and prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

This ham and cheddar torta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover ham, and it is also a popular dish to serve at picnics and potlucks.
