Tomato, Zucchini and Ricotta Tarts


Oh, how beautiful the summer veggies are right now!   This tart is super simple to prepare and is the perfect - light and crisp side dish for your summer grilling menu.  We served the tomato zucchini tarts with Jamaican jerk grilled shrimp kabobs over a bed of saffron rice.  


 
Ingredients:
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 
  • 1 clove minced garlic 
  • 1 Pillsbury premade, rollout pie crust cut into quarters
  • Filling
    • 3 Tbsp ricotta
    • 3 Tbsp fresh mozzarella cut into small pieces
    • salt, pepper, dried basil
  • Thinly cut slices of zucchini, and tomato





Step-by-step
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic
1 Pillsbury (premade, rollout) piecrust cut into quarters
Filling:  3 Tbsp ricotta, 3 Tbsp fresh mozzarella cut into small pieces, salt, pepper, dried basil 
Alternate thinly cut slices of zucchini, and tomato. 
[Prep the veggies by slicing, sprinkling with salt, blot dry after 30 min or put something heavy on top w/ papertowels to remove excess liquid before adding to tart pans.]
Sprinkle with the garlic flavored olive oil, salt and pepper.
Bake at 425 degrees about 35-40 min.  Veggies will start browning and cheese will get bubbly.
Serve with a garnish of freshly cut basil and a basil leaf.
