Zucchini Carrot Rose Tart

I recommend trying this beautiful tart. I initially started with a version of zucchini and ham tart, but I wanted more color and replaced the ham with thin slices of carrots. Either way, it's delicious and beautiful, simple and pretty fast - only making the roses will take longer, but even that will go quicker once you get the move.

This zucchini and carrot tart is, of course, wonderful for any festive meal. It's good looking, so colourful and a real eye-catcher.

Step 8

Do the same with the carrots, except you don't cut them in half (only if they are giant carrots :) The carrot slices are less flexible, but don't give up and try to do your best.

I didn't make many carrot roses - only about 6-7 buds, for extra color.

Step 11

Transfer the pastry to a tart pan (here, 28cm), I didn't grease the pan with anything, the dough contains butter and doesn't stick.

Step 15

The tart is done when the edges are nicely browned, the egg filling is firm and the vegetables are lightly browned on top.

Let cool completely before serving. This way you will be able to cut the tart into beautiful and exemplary slices.

Ejoy!
