Where to find ingredients
Find ready-to-use puff pastry, dairy products, ham, and cheeses at local supermarkets, artisanal delis, or specialized grocery shops. For table cream (creme de leite), look for canned dairy cream in the baking or international aisles; heavy cream is a suitable substitute.

- Add the table cream, plain yogurt, and one package of grated parmesan cheese to the beaten eggs.
- Whisk everything well until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous cream.
- Cut the mozzarella and ham into small strips or cubes.
- Fold the ham and mozzarella into the egg cream mixture and stir gently.
- Line a tart pan with the ready-to-use puff pastry.
- Pour the filling mixture over the pastry in the pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining grated parmesan cheese over the top of the filling.
- Bake in a preheated oven at a medium temperature until the surface is golden and browned.
