Where to find ingredients

Preparation method
- Lightly whisk the eggs as if you were preparing an omelette.
- Add the table cream, plain yoghurt, and one sachet of the grated parmesan to the beaten eggs.
- Whisk everything well until you have a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
- Cut the mozzarella and ham into small strips or cubes.
- Fold the ham and mozzarella gently into the egg mixture.
- Line a tart tin or quiche dish with the ready-made puff pastry.
- Pour the filling mixture over the pastry in the dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese over the top of the filling.
- Bake in a preheated oven at a medium temperature until the top is golden and perfectly gratinated.
