Instructions
- 1 To prepare our savory pie, the first thing to do is cook the vegetables. Take the zucchini, wash them, trim them, cut them into not-too-thin rounds, and cook them for about 15 minutes over low heat in a pan with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and the chopped onion. Also wash the datterini tomatoes, cut them in half, place them in a small bowl, and season with salt, pepper, a few chopped basil leaves, 1/2 clove of garlic, and a drizzle of oil.
- 2 While the zucchini is cooking, take a blender and blend the cream, Gran Campidano, and eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Then add the cooked vegetables to the egg mixture.
- 3 Place the puff pastry on a round baking pan, leaving the parchment paper in the pastry package, and prick all over with a fork. Line the bottom with goat cheese slices and pour the previously prepared filling over them. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F). After about 15 minutes of baking, drain the halved datterini tomatoes from the oil and arrange them in a radial pattern on top of the savory tart to decorate. Bake for another 20 minutes and serve warm.
