Where to find ingredients
You can find pre-rolled puff pastry in the freezer section of all major Australian supermarkets, typically alongside frozen phyllo or shortcrust. For the filling, look for full-fat natural or Greek yoghurt and standard deli-style ham in the refrigerated aisles.
Preparation method
- Lightly whisk the eggs in a bowl until just combined, as if preparing an omelette.
- Stir the pouring cream, natural yoghurt, and one sachet of the grated Parmesan into the whisked eggs.
- Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the custard base is completely smooth.
- Chop the mozzarella and ham into small, uniform cubes or strips.
- Gently fold the ham and mozzarella pieces into the egg custard mixture.
- Line a tart tin or quiche dish with the ready-rolled puff pastry, trimming any excess edges.
- Pour the savoury filling evenly into the prepared pastry shell.
- Scatter the remaining Parmesan over the top of the quiche.
- Bake in a preheated moderate oven (180°C) until the centre is set and the top is golden brown and bubbling.
