Method

1
Thaw the dough according to the package instructions. Phyllo dough dries out quickly, so keep it in its package until you start baking.
2
Melt the butter. Slice the cold brie cheese into thin pieces. Lightly grease a rectangular baking dish (approx. 25 cm x 37 cm) with butter.
3
Take the dough out of its package and unroll it. Take two sheets of dough aside and cover the rest with a damp kitchen towel. Layer the sheets on top of each other so that the shorter edge of the dough is facing you. Brush the top sheet with butter and scrunch the dough from the edges into accordion pleats. Transfer the dough into the baking dish and repeat the process with the remaining dough.
4
Tuck the smoked ham and brie cheese between the folds of the dough. Add dollops of jam on top.
5
Whisk the cream and eggs together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Pluck half of the thyme leaves into the mixture and pour evenly over the bake.
6
Bake in a 175-degree oven for 30-40 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the dough is beautifully golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with the remaining thyme and grind black pepper on top if desired.
