EASY ZUCCHINI, TOMATO, AND CHEESE TART



Easy Zucchini, Tomato, and Cheese Tart image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 sheet (half of a 17-ounce package) frozen puff pastry
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 (14-ounce) can ready-cut diced tomatoes, well drained
3 large eggs
1 cup grated smoked Gouda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Generous seasoning freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Remove the puff pastry from the package and let thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until no longer frozen but still cool.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook 5 minutes, or until the onion is slightly tender. Stir in the zucchini and saute just until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Mix in the drained tomatoes and raise the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring often, until the zucchini is tender but not mushy and the juices have evaporated. Let cool.
  • Lightly butter a dark-colored 9-inch tart pan with a removable rim or a glass pie plate. On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry into an 11-inch square. Fit it into the tart pan or pie plate. Trim off the overhanging pieces of pastry with scissors. Refrigerate the crust, uncovered, for 15 minutes, or up to 8 hours, covered.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the cheese, salt, pepper, and cooled vegetables. Spoon the mixture into the tart pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until the pastry is brown and a knife inserted in the center of the tart comes out clean. Remove the outer rim of the tart pan. Let the tart cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes before slicing. It is best to serve this tart very warm rather than piping hot.

ZUCCHINI TART WITH GRUYERE CHEESE AND HERBS



Zucchini Tart With Gruyere Cheese and Herbs image

This tart is wonderful picnic, potluck or party food--it's great served warm, cold or at room temperature! Simple and very tasty, I often make this tart when fresh zucchini are in season. For ease of preparation, I've used a crescent roll crust, but you may use a regular shortcrust pastry if you wish. You will need a 9 or 10-inch tart tin with a removable bottom. P.S. If you don't have a tart or quiche pan, just use a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.

Categories     Cheese

Time 35m

Yield 1 Tart, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs fresh zucchini, thinly sliced (about 6 medium zucchini or 4 cups)
1 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon herbes de provence (or Herbes De Napa)
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons pesto sauce
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup grated gruyere cheese or 1 cup swiss cheese, plus a little extra for topping
1 (8 ounce) package crescent roll dough (or use your favorite shortcrust pastry recipe, see note)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
  • TO MAKE CRUST:.
  • Unfold crescent dough from the tube and press dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of tart pan to form a crust, pressing gently to seal any perforations; spread crust with pesto. (NOTE: If you will be using a shortcrust pastry recipe instead of the crescent roll dough, you will need to blind-bake it before adding the filling).
  • TO MAKE FILLING:.
  • In a large skillet, saute the zucchini, onion, and garlic in the olive oil until softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley and the herbes de Provence, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let cool slightly before stirring in the beaten eggs and cheese.
  • With a slotted spoon, transfer the filling into the prepared tart shell and spread evenly; sprinkle the top with a little extra grated cheese. I transfer the tart to a baking sheet to catch any overflow. Bake at 400 F until set and crust is golden, about 16 to 19 minutes.
  • Remove to a wire rack and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes, before removing sides of pan.
  • TIP: For ease of removal, place the tart on a large can, then carefully pull the sides of the pan down around it (you may need to run a knife around sides of crust to loosen).
  • Slide tart off the bottom portion of the pan onto a rimless serving dish or cutting board (or leave it on the base to serve). Let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Good served warm, cold or at room temperature.

ZUCCHINI TART



Zucchini Tart image

Using an inverted baking sheet in the oven helps give the tart an extra-crisp crust.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 1h

Yield Makes one 10-by-15-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 stick unsalted butter, melted
9 sheets frozen phyllo dough (12 by 17 inches each), thawed
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (1 1/2 ounces)
1/3 cup fresh basil, cut into strips
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 medium zucchini (about 8 ounces), very thinly sliced lengthwise (preferably on a mandoline)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees, and place an inverted baking sheet on the middle rack. Brush a 10-by-15-inch rimmed baking sheet with butter.
  • Brush 1 phyllo sheet with butter, and fit into baking sheet, leaving a 1-inch overhang. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap as you work.) Top with a second phyllo sheet in a slightly different position, and brush with butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo and butter, creating a crust with a 1-inch overhang on all sides. Fold edges under to double the thickness. (Don't worry if some pieces crack along the edge.)
  • Whisk together eggs, cream, milk, cheese, basil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Crumple 6 layers of foil into a rectangle the size of the tart, and fit into crust. Bake crust, set on inverted sheet, until edges are golden, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove foil. Bake until surface is golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer crust to a wire rack, leaving inverted sheet in oven.
  • Immediately pour custard carefully into crust (do not overfill). Arrange zucchini over top, slightly overlapping. Bake on inverted sheet until custard is set in center, 20 to 22 minutes. Immediately slide tart onto wire rack, lifting from 1 end using a large, wide spatula. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a mandoline slicer to thinly slice the zucchini. This will ensure that the zucchini cooks evenly and quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the zucchini. If you do, the zucchini will steam instead of fry, and it will not be as crispy.
  • Season the zucchini with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Don't overcook the zucchini. It should be slightly tender, but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Use a good quality mozzarella cheese. This will make the tart more flavorful.
  • Serve the tart warm or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed as a main course or as a side dish.

Conclusion:

The zippy zucchini tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh zucchini, mozzarella cheese, and a few other simple ingredients. The tart is baked until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This tart is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
