Tarte fine aux légumes grillés – Thin Tart with Grilled Vegetables Recipe
This thin French tart made with puff pastry is full of colorful, lightly charred vegetables: zucchini, bell pepper and eggplant. In France, similar tarts are often served at dinner with friends – they’re cut into pieces and placed in the middle of the table so everyone can help themselves. It’s a great way to use summer vegetables and turn them into something more impressive than a simple stew.

Ingredients
- puff pastry rectangular or round, chilled - 1 package
- zucchini medium - 1 piece
- eggplant small - 1 piece
- red bell pepper - 1 piece
- red onion medium - 1 piece
- goat cheese soft goat log - 100 g
- Dijon mustard - 1 tablespoon
- olive oil for brushing the vegetables - 3 tablespoons
- thyme fresh or dried - 1 teaspoon
- garlic finely chopped or pressed - 1 clove
- salt for seasoning the vegetables
- black pepper to taste
Main Ingredient:
Vegetables
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (top and bottom heat). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Slice the zucchini and eggplant into thin slices (about 0.5 cm). Remove the seeds and core from the pepper and cut it into strips. Peel the onion and slice it thinly.
- Place the vegetables in a large bowl, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add the thyme, garlic, a pinch of salt and some pepper. Mix with your hands so all the pieces are lightly coated with oil and seasonings.
- Heat a grill pan or regular frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the vegetables in batches for 2–3 minutes on each side, until they soften and are lightly browned. They don’t need to be completely tender – they will finish cooking in the oven.
- Unroll the puff pastry on the prepared tray. If it is very thick, you can roll it out slightly. Fold the edges in by about 1 cm to create a low rim.
- Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the base of the pastry, leaving the edges bare.
- Arrange the grilled vegetables on top of the mustard, slightly overlapping to create a colorful mosaic. Try to distribute them evenly.
- Slice or crumble the goat cheese and scatter it over the vegetables. Drizzle everything with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, until the pastry has puffed up and turned golden and the edges are lightly crisp.
- After removing from the oven, let the tart rest for 5 minutes so it cools slightly and is easier to slice. Serve warm or at room temperature.
