Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh zucchini that is firm and free of blemishes. Grate the zucchini using the large holes of a box grater. This will create long, thin strands that will cook evenly.
- If you don't have any sun-dried tomatoes on hand, you can substitute 1/2 cup of chopped fresh tomatoes. However, sun-dried tomatoes will give the tart a more intense flavor.
- Feel free to use any type of cheese that you like in this tart. Mozzarella is a classic choice, but you could also try cheddar, Parmesan, or Gruyère.
- If you want a crispy crust, be sure to preheat your oven to the highest temperature it can go before baking the tart. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
- Once the tart is baked, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the tart from falling apart.
