Where to find ingredients
You can find puff pastry in the freezer section of most supermarkets. Table cream (creme de leite) is often available in the international or Latin American aisle; if unavailable, heavy cream is a suitable substitute. Plain natural yogurt is standard in the dairy aisle. Parmesan, mozzarella, and ham can be found in the deli or cheese section of any grocery store.
Preparation method
- Lightly beat the eggs in a mixing bowl, just as if you were preparing an omelet
- Whisk the table cream, plain yogurt, and one packet of the Parmesan cheese into the beaten eggs
- Stir everything thoroughly until you have a smooth, well-combined custard
- Chop the mozzarella and ham into small, bite-sized cubes or strips
- Gently fold the chopped ham and mozzarella into the egg mixture
- Line a tart or pie dish with the ready-to-bake puff pastry
- Pour the savory filling evenly into the prepared pastry shell
- Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top of the quiche
- Bake in a preheated oven at medium heat until the surface is golden brown and beautifully gratinéed
