Yesterday, I thought there was nothing for lunch, but rummaged through the fridge and freezer and found one zucchini and some puff pastry. I came up with this Zucchini Tart with Whipped Feta and Thyme. Whipped feta is all over the internet and decided to see what all the hype was about. It's very versatile, you can use it as a dip, spread it on sandwiches, or even on pizza. It's really delicious.

Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 20 mins
Yields: 2 - 3 Servings

Ingredients

½ (400g) package puff pastry, thawed

extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

2 small zucchinis, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon fresh thyme

Salt and pepper, to taste

pepper flakes, to taste

Whipped Feta

6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled, at room temperature 

3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil  

2 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

1Preheat the oven to 375°F

2Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin to approximately an 8 X 10-inch rectangle.

3Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Score a 1-inch border around the outside of the pastry with a knife. Prick the center of the pastry all over using a fork. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes until par-baked.

4Spread the whipped feta on the puff pastry evenly within the border.

5Cover completely with zucchini slices and sprinkle with the thyme and season with pepper.

6Return to oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot with a drizzle of olive oil and pepper flakes.

Whipped Feta

1Place feta, cream cheese, olive oil, lemon zest, and purée, scraping down the sides until the feta is creamy. Will keep in the fridge covered for several days if you wanted to make it ahead.
