Where to find ingredients
Find chilled puff pastry and dairy items in the refrigerated sections of local markets. Table cream (creme de leite) is usually stocked in the canned goods aisle. If unavailable, heavy cream is a suitable substitute.

- Lightly whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl, just as you would for an omelet.
- Add the table cream, plain yogurt, and one bag of the grated Parmesan cheese to the beaten eggs.
- Whisk the mixture thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, consistent base.
- Cut the mozzarella and ham into small strips or cubes.
- Gently fold the chopped ham and mozzarella into the egg mixture.
- Line a tart tin or pie dish with the ready-made puff pastry.
- Pour the prepared filling evenly over the pastry crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining bag of 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.
