Savory Zucchini and Garlic Tart

Ingredients

• Puff pastry (1 sheet, thawed)
• Zucchini (2 medium, thinly sliced)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Milk (1/2 cup)
• Eggs (3 large)
• Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup, grated)
• Fresh basil (1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish))
• Salt (to taste)
• Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and gently place it into a tart pan, ensuring it fits snugly. Trim any excess pastry hanging over the edges.
3. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until the zucchini is tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
6. Spread the cooked zucchini and garlic mixture evenly over the puff pastry base.
7. Pour the egg mixture over the zucchini and garlic, ensuring an even distribution.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the tart is golden and the filling is set.
9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before garnishing with freshly chopped basil.
10. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature, perfect for a picnic or a light dinner!
