Ingredients

• 1 package puff pastry sheet
• 2 medium zucchini
• 150 grams feta cheese
• 10 grams fresh mint leaves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon plain flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet until it is approximately a 10x14-inch rectangle. Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, score a 1-inch border around the edge of the pastry, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will create a raised crust.

Step 4

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the egg wash along the scored border of the pastry. Set aside.

Step 5

Slice the zucchini into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Lay the slices on a paper towel and sprinkle them with a pinch of salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes to release excess moisture, then pat them dry with another paper towel.

Step 6

In another bowl, crumble the feta cheese and stir in the minced garlic, lemon zest, olive oil, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 7

Spread the feta mixture evenly over the inside of the scored puff pastry, avoiding the border.

Step 8

Arrange the zucchini slices on top of the feta mixture, slightly overlapping them in rows or a circular pattern as desired.

Step 9

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed, and the zucchini is tender.

Step 10

Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly. Scatter fresh mint leaves over the top before serving.

Step 11

Cut the tart into pieces and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
