For the Custard

  • 3 large Eggs Ensure they're at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • 1 tsp Salt Sea salt will give a more pronounced taste.

  • oven

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Zucchini Tart
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roll out your chosen commercial tart crust or homemade pastry until it's about 1/8 inch thick. Gently press it into a 9-inch tart pan, ensuring an even fit along the edges. Blind-bake the crust for 10-15 minutes, or until it's lightly golden.
  3. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, cheese, and salt until well combined and smooth. Pour this luscious custard filling into your pre-baked tart crust.
  4. Thinly slice your zucchinis using a sharp knife or mandoline. Arrange the zucchini slices artfully atop the custard.
  5. Carefully place the tart in the center of your preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes.
  6. After baking, allow the Easy Zucchini Tart to cool for about 10-15 minutes. Once slightly cooled, slice into generous portions and serve warm or at room temperature.
