Ingredients
- 2 green zucchini
- 2 yellow zucchini
- 7 1/10 oz ricotta
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 lemon
- 15 basil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- to taste olive oil
- 1 piece pizza dough
- 1 piece egg yolk
- a pinch sesame seeds
- 0.71 oz parmesan
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 392°F (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2Place the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface, roll it out into a rectangular shape about ½ cm thick, and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
- 3Using a fork, prick the dough all over to prevent excessive puffing during baking.
- 4In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, the zest and juice of the lemon, the minced garlic clove, the chopped basil leaves, a pinch of salt, a grind of black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil; mix until smooth and creamy.
- 5Brush the surface of the dough lightly with the remaining olive oil, then spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the entire rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- 6Thinly slice the green and yellow zucchini (about ¼ cm thick) and arrange the slices in an overlapping pattern over the ricotta layer.
- 7Sprinkle the grated parmesan evenly over the vegetables, then scatter a pinch of sesame seeds on top for extra texture.
- 8Beat the egg yolk and brush it gently over the exposed crust edges to promote a golden finish.
- 9Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the zucchini slices are tender.
- 10Remove the tart from the oven and let it rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set the filling.
- 11Transfer the tart to a cutting board, slice into serving portions, and serve warm or at room temperature.
