Tender Ham Covered with Torte Mixture

Add the egg to the mixture

Roll it out on a floured surface to obtain a rectangle about 23 x 35 cm

Mix together the mustard, ground cloves, and allspice

Sprinkle over the ham

Place the ham in an oiled baking dish

Cover with torte mixture and press firmly around the entire lower part of the ham

Make slashes on the surface of the torte mixture, without cutting it, forming lozenges

Pierce half of the lozenges with a fork (always one at a time)

Mix together the yolks and water and brush over the torte mixture

Bake in a moderate oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes

Let cool and then refrigerate until serving

When serving, garnish with star-shaped red pepper flakes in brine.
