Where to find ingredients
You can find pre-rolled puff pastry in the chilled pastry section of any local supermarket. Table cream (or nestlé-style table cream) is often stocked in the international or baking aisles, while quality ham and block mozzarella can be sourced from the deli counter or the refrigerated dairy section.
Preparation method
- Whisk the eggs gently in a mixing bowl until just combined, much like preparing for an omelette.
- Whisk in the table cream, natural yoghurt, and one sachet of the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Continue mixing until you have a smooth, well-combined custard base.
- Prepare the fillings by chopping the mozzarella and ham into small, uniform pieces or strips.
- Fold the ham and mozzarella gently into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.
- Line a tart tin or quiche dish with the ready-rolled puff pastry, trimming any excess from the edges.
- Pour the savoury filling mixture evenly into the prepared pastry shell.
- Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top of the filling.
- Bake in a preheated moderate oven until the pastry is crisp and the top is golden brown and beautifully gratinéed.
