Zucchini-Gruyere Tart Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a tart pan with a removable bottom.
• STEP 2.In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and cold butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• STEP 3.Add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• STEP 4.Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and transfer it to the tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess.
• STEP 5.In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in the grated Gruyere cheese.
• STEP 6.Pour the egg mixture into the tart shell and arrange the thinly sliced zucchini on top in a decorative pattern.
• STEP 7.Bake the tart for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the zucchini is tender.
• STEP 8.Allow the tart to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Cooking Tips

• If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a pie dish instead.
