Instructions
Crust

- In another bowl, crack the eggs and beat slightly.
- Add the table cream, parmesan, salt, and black pepper.
- Mix them very well.
Assembly
- Take a small amount of dough, press it, and place it in the center of small removable-bottom tart pans. The one I used is 3.54 inch (9 cm) in diameter.
- Once you’ve pressed the dough into the pan, remove any excess with your fingertips.
- Place chopped ham and then mozzarella in all the tart pans.
- When finished, pour the egg mixture over the top.
