    • 250 g (1 cup or 8.8 oz) ricotta cheese

    • 100 g (1 cup or 3.5 oz) grated mozzarella cheese

    • 1 egg yolk

    🤌 Why you’ll love this tart: ☑️ Saves time without compromising

    flavor or texture

    ☑️ Light and flaky texture from the pastry is unreal

    ☑️ Perfect for spontaneous baking

    Instructions:

    🥒 Prep the zucchini.

    To remove excess moisture and prevent a soggy tart, slice the

    zucchini into thin rounds and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle with 2

    tsp (10 g) salt and toss well. Don’t worry—most of the salt will be

    rinsed off! Let the zucchini sweat for about 30 minutes, then lightly

    rinse with water and squeeze them well to remove moisture. Place

    the zucchini in a clean bowl and stir in 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil.

    🥣 Make the filling.

    Finely chop the parsley and mix it with the ricotta cheese. Season

    with salt and pepper to taste. Alternatively, use a small blender to

    combine the ricotta and parsley for a smoother texture.

    🫳 Assemble the tart.

    Once the puff pastry is fully thawed, unfold it and lightly roll it into

    a rectangle. Create a border by cutting about 1.3 cm (½ inch) from

    the edges without cutting all the way through. Prick the inside of

    the border all over with a fork. Spread the ricotta-parsley filling

    evenly within the border, sprinkle with grated mozzarella, and

    arrange the zucchini slices on top.

    🥚 Prepare the egg wash.

    In a small dish, mix the egg yolk with 1 tbsp (15 ml) water to make

    an egg wash. Brush it over the border of the tart for a golden finish.

    ♨️ Bake.

    Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15–20 minutes, until the pastry is golden

    and crisp.
