Where to find ingredients
You can find puff pastry and dairy items in the refrigerated aisle of local grocery stores or specialty food markets. If table cream is unavailable, a high-fat heavy cream acts as a reliable substitute.
Preparation method
- Lightly whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl, similar to preparing an omelet.
- Whisk the table cream, plain yogurt, and one packet of the grated Parmesan into the eggs.
- Mix well until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous custard base.
- Chop the mozzarella and ham into small strips or uniform cubes.
- Gently fold the ham and mozzarella into the egg mixture.
- Line a tart or pie dish with the ready-made puff pastry.
- Pour the filling mixture evenly over the pastry base.
- Sprinkle the remaining grated Parmesan over the top of the quiche.
- Bake in a preheated oven at a medium temperature until the top is golden brown and beautifully gratinated.
