This savory tart is enhanced by the richness of feta cheese and the aromatic touch of chives and olives, making it a perfect main course or delicious side dish for any occasion.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice the onion, zucchini, and red pepper into thin strips. Cut the tomatoes into wedges.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Spread the sliced onion, zucchini, red pepper, and tomato wedges on a large baking sheet.
- Drizzle with 1/4 cup of olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Toss the vegetables to coat evenly with the oil and seasonings.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and grated parmesan cheese.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the beaten egg, remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil, and water.
- Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, a tablespoon at a time. If it's too wet, add a small amount of flour.
- Knead the dough briefly on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
- Roll the dough out into a circle large enough to fit into a 9-inch (23cm) tart pan. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan, trimming away any excess.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
- Evenly spread the roasted vegetables over the pastry crust.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese, chopped chives, and sliced olives over the top of the vegetables.
- Place the tart in the oven and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
6. Cool and Serve:
- Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
