Tomato and Zucchini Tart

zucchini tomato tart

This weekend the weather is gorgeous in San Francisco. When I look out my windows, it reminds me of summer weather, and I forget it is already fall! However, it is a little chilly outside! I made this tomato zucchini phyllo tart for an afternoon snack. We are trying to eat more vegetables, so this weekend when I did the grocery shopping for the week I bought so many vegetables. Now the challenge will be to eat them all this week!

I used my mandolin slicer to slice the zucchini and tomatoes very thin so the water could evaporate off quickly in the oven and the dough would not get mushy. It came out really crispy!

Spread a thin layer of olive oil between each layer of phyllo dough, and sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top of each layer. Then sprinkle feta cheese on the very top layer, then place the zucchini and tomato slices and brush with olive oil.

    We’re trying to eat more vegetables too. I have two salads planned for tonight’s dinner. I love the look of this filo tart. It is very pretty with the contrasting colours xx
