Where to find ingredients

- Lightly whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until the yolks and whites are just combined.
- Whisk in the table cream, yoghurt, and one sachet of the grated parmesan cheese.
- Continue mixing until the base becomes a smooth, uniform cream.
- Prepare the fillings by cutting the mozzarella and ham into small, uniform cubes or strips.
- Fold the ham and mozzarella gently into the egg mixture until well distributed.
- Line a tart tin with the ready-rolled puff pastry, trimming any excess edges.
- Pour the creamy filling mixture evenly over the pastry shell.
- Sprinkle the remaining sachet of parmesan cheese over the top of the quiche.
- Bake in a preheated oven at a moderate temperature until the pastry is crisp and the top is golden brown and bubbling.
