Where to find ingredients
You can find puff pastry, eggs, and dairy in the chilled sections of local supermarkets. For the ham and cheeses, visit the deli counter or the pre-packaged dairy aisles. If you cannot find ready-made puff pastry, shortcrust pastry is a common alternative.
Preparation method
- Lightly whisk the eggs in a bowl as if preparing an omelette.
- Add the table cream, natural yoghurt, and one packet of the grated Parmesan to the beaten eggs.
- Whisk the mixture thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous consistency.
- Cut the mozzarella and ham into small strips or cubes.
- Gently fold the ham and mozzarella into the egg cream mixture.
- Line a tart tin with the ready-made puff pastry.
- Pour the filling mixture evenly over the pastry base.
- Sprinkle the remaining grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the filling.
- Bake in a preheated medium-temperature oven until the top is golden and perfectly gratinéed.
