Zucchini Tart


I decided to start this recipe diary with my favorite salty tart, I almost make it once a week!

For the tart you need:

280 g (or 2 1/2 cups) plain flour
a pinch of salt
140 g diced butter (room temperature)
2 egg yolks (whenever using eggs it is better when they are in room temperature as well)
2 tablespoons of cold water ( I always need more than that around 1/2 cup)

For the filling you need:

2-3 big zucchinis (which you shred)
1 onion 
1 fresh onions (it is ok even without it)
1 cup creme fraiche
2 whole eggs
2-3 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
oregano or thyme
salt and pepper


The dough:


Flour, eggs...


Butter in room temperature



Cold water...


and the dough is ready...





Place the dough in a tart pan...


Cut the excessive dough (which you can use for smaller tartlets)




Place some baking paper and baking beans on top, of course normal beans are fine as well,
the reason for that is not for the dough to grow while baking:)




Cut the excessive paper and bake for 10 minutes in the oven to 200° C or 400° F

While the crust is being baked I prepare the filling!

Onion in the pan with a little bit of olive oil!

and then we add the zucchini with a little bit of salt and whatever spice you prefer, oregano or thyme recommended:)

Bit the eggs, with cream and add the breadcrumbs...

Add the cheese..
and a little bit of feta cheese (always a must for a Greek)
Then you put all of them together and put over the baked crust:)



Bake at 200° C until the color becomes like that:) and serve!


Bon Appetit!
