Parmesan Tomato Zucchini Tart
This flaky tart features fresh summer zucchini and juicy tomatoes topped with salty parmesan cheese.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like a fresh tart when the garden is overflowing with summer produce. This recipe is a favorite in my kitchen because it looks beautiful on the table but is actually quite simple to put together on a busy afternoon.
I love to use a pre made pie crust when I am short on time, but feel free to use your favorite homemade dough recipe if you have one ready. The key to keeping the crust crisp is to make sure your vegetables are not too wet before you layer them on.
