This SIMPLE and delicious Cheese & Herb Zucchini Tart is made with our Fruit Cheese (yeah yeah, some of you might find that weird) but it is SO yum and such a great balance of sweet and savoury flavours! If the Fruit Cheese freaks you out too much though (I am looking at my sister right now, who always firmly swears by fruit NOT belonging in anything savoury 🙄) then this is also equally as delish, and fancy, made with our Herb Garlic cheese for a garlicky finish, or our Dill Chèvre for a goats cheese style result
It is also a great “activity” to make with the kids as its super easy and fun to layer, but also works with their motor skills and decoration creativity. Dinner, and kid entertainment, in one…!? You can thank us later 😉
INGREDIENTS
🥒 1 sheet puff pastry (GF if desired)
🥒 1 large zucchini, thinly sliced
🥒 1 x block ‘The Vegan Dairy’ Fruit & Pistachio Cheese, thinly sliced into squares (or Herb Garlic or Dill Chèvre)
🥒 olive oil
🥒 1 red onion, thinly sliced
🥒 1 large handful kale leaves, shredded
🥒 1 small handful dill, chopped
🥒 1 small handful parsley, chopped
🥒 1 small handful mint, chopped
🥒 1 tbsp vegan basil pesto
🥒 salt & pepper
METHOD
Preheat your oven to 200C (400F).
Add a drizzle of olive oil to a small fry-pan and add the red onion. Sauté until soft & starting to caramelise. Add the shredded kale, as well as a little water and cover to allow the kale to steam and wilt down. Add the chopped fresh herbs and stir through. Set aside.
Place your puff pastry on a lined baking tray. Assemble the tart by spreading the basil pesto over the puff pastry then topping with the onion/kale/herb mixture. Build stacks of alternating zucchini and the cheese in your palm, before arranging them on the top of the tart. Once all of the zucchini and cheese has been used up & the tart is looking stellar, drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until golden and the pastry has puffed sufficiently.
