Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of 17.3-ounce package), thawed
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
6 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 small zucchini, cut into thin rounds
2 large eggs
1 cup half and half
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Roll out pastry on floured surface to 1/8-inch-thick square. Trim pastry edges to form 13-inch round. Transfer to 11-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Fold in overhang to form double-thick sides. Pierce with fork. Cover; chill 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line pastry with foil; fill with beans or pie weights. Bake pastry until sides are set, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake crust until bottom is golden brown, pressing with back of fork if bubbles form, about 8 minutes. Cool 5 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 400°F. Sprinkle mozzarella over bottom of crust. Top with 6 tablespoons Parmesan, tomatoes, basil, green onions, and oregano. Arrange zucchini rounds in concentric circles to cover top of tart. Whisk eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper in medium bowl. Pour mixture into tart. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
  • Bake tart until custard is set and crust is golden brown, about 35 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I didn't have any sun-dried tomatoes, so I used roasted red peppers instead. The tart was still delicious.

I'm allergic to gluten, so I used a gluten-free pie crust. The tart turned out great!

This tart is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also great for parties, because it can be made ahead of time.

The flavors in this tart are amazing! The zucchini and sun-dried tomatoes are a great combination, and the mozzarella adds a lovely richness.

I'm not usually a fan of zucchini, but this tart changed my mind. The zucchini is cooked to perfection, and the other ingredients really complement it.

This tart was a huge hit at my last dinner party! The combination of zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, and mozzarella is divine, and the flaky crust is the perfect finishing touch.
