Easy Homemade Quiche

Ingredients

1 pack ready-rolled puff pastry
4 large eggs
1 can table cream (creme de leite)
1 cup plain yogurt
2 small packs grated parmesan cheese
300 g mozzarella cheese, sliced or cubed
250 g ham, sliced or cubed

Where to find ingredients

You can find puff pastry in the frozen section of most local supermarkets in Guyana. Table cream (creme de leite) is usually found in the canned milk aisle or near the evaporated milk; if you can't find it, heavy cream is a suitable substitute. For the mozzarella and parmesan, the deli counter or the cheese chiller cabinet of your local grocery store will have exactly what you need. Any standard good-quality ham from the deli or meat section will work perfectly for this recipe.

Preparation method

  1. Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl just as you would for an omelet
  2. Whisk the table cream, plain yogurt, and one pack of grated parmesan into the beaten eggs
  3. Stir everything thoroughly until you have a smooth, well-combined custard
  4. Dice the mozzarella and ham into small, uniform pieces
  5. Gently fold the ham and mozzarella into the egg mixture
  6. Line a pie dish or tart tin with the ready-rolled puff pastry
  7. Pour the prepared filling evenly over the pastry crust
  8. Sprinkle the remaining grated parmesan over the top of the quiche
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at a moderate temperature until the top is golden and bubbling

Observations

This is a quintessential quiche, a versatile dish beloved in Brazil for its perfect balance of flavor and ease. With its buttery, flaky crust and a luscious filling packed with ham and cheese, it's a go-to choice whether you need a fast mid-afternoon bite or a simple, comforting main dish.
