Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to your tart. Some good choices include onions, leeks, carrots, celery, mushrooms, and zucchini.
Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your tart. Some good choices include cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan.
Don't overfill the tart shell. This will make it difficult to cook evenly.
Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
Let the tart cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set.
