Roll out the puff pastry into a circle to fit the tart pan, trimming off excess.

Place the puff pastry into the tart pan, adjusting the edges as needed.

In a mixing bowl, crack 4 eggs and whisk them until combined.

Add yogurt and 2 tablespoons of cream to the eggs and mix until smooth.

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, tasting for seasoning.

Layer the cured ham and standard ham evenly in the tart pan.

Sprinkle Gorgonzola cheese over the ham, being cautious not to overdo it due to its strong flavor.

Pour the egg and yogurt custard mixture over the layered ingredients in the tart pan.

Bake in the preheated oven on the lower rack for around 30 minutes until golden and puffed up.

Remove from the oven and let the tart rest until lukewarm before slicing.
