Description

A golden, flaky tart filled with creamy ricotta, sweet courgettes, and tangy sundried tomatoes, perfect for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 puff pastry sheet (about 250g)
  • 2 medium courgettes (1 green and 1 yellow, thinly sliced)
  • 6 to 8 sundried tomatoes (chopped)
  • 200g ricotta cheese
  • 40g grated parmesan
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix ricotta, grated parmesan, minced garlic, salt, and a pinch of black pepper until smooth.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry on the parchment-lined tray. Using a knife, lightly score a border about 1 inch from the edges.
  4. Spread the ricotta mixture within the scored border. Layer the courgette slices and sundried tomatoes on top in an even pattern. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh thyme.
  5. Brush the pastry edges with the egg yolk. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden and the courgettes are tender.
  6. Let the tart cool slightly before slicing. Add an extra sprinkle of thyme or parmesan if desired.
  7. Serve warm or at room temperature, sliced into squares or wedges.

Notes

  • Drain ricotta slightly if watery for a firmer texture.
  • Use a mandoline for even courgette slices.
  • Preheat oven thoroughly to ensure even baking.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the oven for best results.
