Zucchini and Goat Cheese Tart

I made a delicious and flavorful Zucchini and Goat Cheese Tart. It is a perfect lunch with a small side salad. Or it could be the vegetable side dish served with dinner.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs. zucchini and yellow squash

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

8 oz. goat cheese crumbles

1  refrigerated  or homemade pie crust

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut zucchini and yellow squash 1/8-inch rounds. Throw the rounds into a bowl and toss them with the salt, pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes and 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Roll out the pie dough and place in into rectangle or round tart pan. Spread the goat cheese over the pie dough.

Layer the green and yellow rounds overlapping tightly- because the zucchini shrinks when baked.

Drizzle with the tart with the extra 1 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Bake for 30 -35 minutes. The edges of the tart should be golden brown.

Serve warm and refrigerate the leftovers.

The zucchini came out so flavorful. 

Enjoy!
