Zucchini Tart: Gourmet Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 large zucchini, thinly sliced
• 1 pre-made pie crust
• 1 cup crème fraîche
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 shallot, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust on a flat surface and transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan. Press down the edges and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake blind for 8-10 minutes.
2. In a skillet, heat up olive oil on medium heat. Add sliced zucchini, minced garlic, and sliced shallots. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, around 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Mix crème fraîche and Dijon mustard in a bowl until well combined.
4. Spread the crème fraîche mixture evenly on the bottom of the cooked pie crust. Arrange the sautéed zucchini and shallots on top in a single layer. Bake in the oven for another 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is heated through.

Verdict:

This gourmet zucchini tart is a delicious summer recipe that’s perfect for any occasion. The combination of zucchini, crème fraîche, and Dijon mustard delivers a rich and creamy flavor that’s sure to please. The crispy crust and tender zucchini create a perfect textural contrast. Serve it as a centerpiece on your next potluck or picnic, or simply enjoy it as a light lunch with a refreshing salad.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve the zucchini tart warm or cold, with a side of fresh greens such as arugula or mixed salad. You can also sprinkle some shaved parmesan cheese on top for an extra cheesy flavor. Enjoy!
