Step 1Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Combine ham, tomatoes, ricotta, basil, cheese and salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir to combine.

Step 2Using a 20cm round cake pan as a guide, cut a circle from each pastry sheet. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of breadcrumbs over 1 pastry circle, leaving a 1cm border. Place one-quarter of the ham mixture over the breadcrumbs. Brush border with egg. Fold pastry over to form a semi-circle. Press edges together to enclose filling. Repeat with remaining pastry circles, breadcrumbs, ham mixture and egg.
