Where to find ingredients
Find ready-made puff pastry and dairy items in the refrigerated sections of local supermarkets or cold storage shops. For an authentic taste, use local table cream; if unavailable, a thick heavy cream or canned cream can be used as a substitute.

- Whisk the eggs gently in a mixing bowl until combined, similar to preparing an omelet.
- Stir the table cream, plain yogurt, and one packet of the grated parmesan into the egg mixture.
- Mix everything thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, consistent base.
- Dice or slice the mozzarella and ham into small, uniform pieces.
- Fold the ham and mozzarella pieces into the egg mixture and stir delicately.
- Line a tart or pie tin with the ready-made puff pastry.
- Pour the filling mixture evenly over the prepared pastry in the tin.
- Sprinkle the remaining grated parmesan over the top of the quiche.
- Bake in a preheated oven at medium heat until the surface is golden brown and beautifully gratinated.
