Ingredients
Scale
-
- 1 sheet of ready-made puff pastry (about 250g)
-
- 1 zucchini, thinly sliced
-
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
- 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
-
- 100g (1 cup) cherry tomatoes, halved
-
- 150g (1 1/2 cups) crumbled feta or grated mozzarella cheese
-
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or mixed Italian herbs
-
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
-
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
-
- Optional: Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
-
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Puff Pastry Base
-
- Unroll the puff pastry and place it on the prepared baking tray. Using a sharp knife, score a 1-inch border around the edges without cutting all the way through. This will create a raised crust.
Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables
-
- Toss the zucchini, bell peppers, onion, and cherry tomatoes in a bowl with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Step 4: Add the Toppings
-
- Within the scored border, layer the prepared vegetables evenly over the puff pastry. Sprinkle the crumbled feta or grated mozzarella on top.
Step 5: Bake the Tart
-
- Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed, and the vegetables are tender.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
-
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
