Ingredients
- 250 g self-raising flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 75 g butter (diced)
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 100 g dried sour cherries
- 125 g brie (diced)
- 1 free-range egg (large)

Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Grease a baking tray and line the base with baking paper.
2
Place the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl then rub in the butter using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add 1/2 tbsp thyme leaves (add more for a stronger taste), the dried cherries and brie then stir until well combined.

Add the egg and milk then bring together firstly with a round ended knife and then your hands if necessary to form a dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead very gently. Form into a round approximately 16cm in diameter and flatten the top.
