Mediterranean Veggie and Goat Cheese Tart

Ingredients

• Puff pastry (1 sheet, thawed)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon, to taste)
• Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon, freshly ground)
• Fresh thyme (1 tablespoon, chopped)
• Red onion (1 small, thinly sliced)
• Red bell pepper (1, thinly sliced)
• Yellow squash (1, thinly sliced)
• Zucchini (1, thinly sliced)
• Goat cheese (4 ounces, crumbled)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit a baking sheet (approximately 10x15 inches). Transfer the pastry to the baking sheet, ensuring the edges are slightly raised to contain the filling.
3. Spread the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
4. Artfully arrange the sliced zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, and red onion on top of the goat cheese, creating a colorful pattern.
5. Drizzle the olive oil over the arranged vegetables and season generously with salt, pepper, and chopped fresh thyme.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed, and the vegetables are tender.
7. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Slice into squares or wedges and serve warm.
