Where to find ingredients
You can find pre-made puff pastry in the frozen aisle of local supermarkets. For the best result, look for high-quality ham and mozzarella at your preferred deli or dairy counter. Table cream (creme de leite) is a standard pantry staple, but if unavailable, a thick heavy cream may serve as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Lightly beat the eggs in a mixing bowl, similar to preparing an omelet base.
- Whisk in the table cream, plain yogurt, and one packet of the grated parmesan cheese.
- Stir well until the mixture reaches a smooth, consistent texture.
- Dice the mozzarella and ham into small, uniform pieces or strips.
- Gently fold the ham and mozzarella into the egg and cream mixture.
- Line a tart or pie dish with the ready-to-use puff pastry, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides.
- Pour the prepared filling evenly over the pastry crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining grated parmesan cheese over the top of the quiche.
- Bake in a preheated oven at a medium temperature until the top is golden brown and beautifully gratinated.
