- Whisk the table cream, plain yoghurt, and one pack of the parmesan cheese into the beaten eggs.
- Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Cut the mozzarella and ham into small, uniform strips or cubes.
- Gently fold the ham and mozzarella into the egg mixture.
- Line a tart tin or pie dish with the ready-made puff pastry.
- Pour the filling mixture evenly over the pastry crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese over the top of the filling.
- Bake in a preheated medium-temperature oven until the top is golden brown and beautifully set.
