Tomato and Zucchini Tart with Garlic




I originally planned for this tart to be a quick, plain tomato-style to use up some of my garden tomatoes. Instead, I just kept adding things and it turned into an awesome tart with zucchini and garlic. Those combinations are so amazing together!

I brought this over to my parents house after I made it and we polished it off before dinner as a little appetizer while we cooked. There was seriously nothing left! It definitely hit the spot with it's rustic flavor and the slight buttery notes from the pastry.

It's so easy to make, looks so elegant, and it's so tasty that it's sure to be a hit as an appetizer, a veggie-filled breakfast, or any other reason you could serve it! It would be great paired with a salad or soup for a light lunch, too.

If you still have some tomatoes and zucchini sitting around, this is a great way to use them up!
