Where to find ingredients
You can find pre-made puff pastry, dairy products, and quality cold cuts in the refrigerated aisles of local supermarkets. If you cannot find ready-made puff pastry, a standard shortcrust pastry is a common alternative.

- Whisk the cream, natural yoghurt, and one packet of grated Parmesan into the eggs.
- Mix well until you achieve a smooth, uniform custard base.
- Cut the mozzarella and ham into small strips or cubes.
- Gently fold the ham and mozzarella into the egg mixture.
- Line a tart tin with the ready-made puff pastry.
- Pour the savoury filling evenly over the pastry crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the filling.
- Bake in a preheated oven at a medium setting until the top is golden brown and beautifully gratinated.
