Where to find ingredients
Find puff pastry in the frozen food section of local supermarkets. Mozzarella, ham, and cream are available at general grocery stores. As a substitute for Brazilian-style table cream, you may use thick double cream or a reduced-fat alternative.
Preparation method
- Prepare the eggs by whisking them lightly, as if you were making an omelet.
- Add the table cream, plain yogurt, and one package of the grated parmesan cheese to the beaten eggs.
- Whisk everything well until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous cream.
- Cut the mozzarella and ham into small strips or cubes.
- Gently fold the ham and mozzarella into the egg cream mixture.
- Line a tart pan with the prepared puff pastry.
- Pour the filling mixture over the pastry in the pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining grated parmesan cheese over the top of the filling.
- Bake in a preheated oven at medium heat until the surface is golden brown and bubbling.
