Servings: 6

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.
