Instructions
 

Quick savory tart with zucchini and goat cheese instructions

  • In a bowl pour flour, add salt, sugar and baking powder. Add olive oil and warm water and start kneading.
  • Knead the dough for several minutes until it becomes smooth. Let it rest at room temperature, covered with a cotton cloth for at least 10 minutes and in the meantime prepare the filling.
  • Mix the soft goat cheese with the yogurt. Add salt and pepper and add the grated zest of half a lemon. Also add the fresh thyme to taste (I used leaves of a few twigs) and the coarsely chopped walnuts. Mix everything, taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary.
  • Take your dough from the refrigerator and place it on top of a layer of baking paper. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough directly on the baking paper until a thickness of about a few millimeters. Arrange the cheese filling in the center, leaving a border of 3/4 cm, then cover with thinly sliced zucchini.
  • Using the baking paper, fold the edges of the dough towards the center creating an edge. Sprinkle the zucchini with some olive oil and add a few more sprigs of fresh thyme. If you like, you can spread the edge of the savory tart with a some milk to make it more golden during baking.
  • Bake in a preheated static oven at 180 ° C for about 30 minutes. The baking time depends on how thin you have rolled out your dough. Once the tart is ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool completely before serving.
