Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 9 oz puff pastry thawed
  • 2.5 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 0.75 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp garlic minced
  • 2 cup eggplant thin rounds
  • 1.5 cup zucchini thin rounds
  • 1.5 cup yellow squash thin rounds
  • 1 cup red bell pepper thin strips
  • 1.5 cup Roma tomatoes thin rounds
  • 1.5 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 0.75 cup ricotta cheese whole-milk
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated, divided
  • 1.5 tsp fresh thyme leaves chopped
  • 0.25 cup fresh basil chopped
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Roll the puff pastry to roughly 10×14 inches. Transfer to the pan and prick all over with a fork.
  • Stir ricotta with half the Parmesan, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a little thyme. Set aside.
  • Whisk Dijon and tomato paste until smooth and spreadable.
  • Toss eggplant, zucchini, squash, bell pepper, tomatoes, and onion with olive oil, garlic, remaining thyme, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  • Spread the mustard mixture over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border. Spoon and smooth the ricotta mixture over it.
  • Arrange vegetables in alternating layers on top, slightly overlapping. Fold edges to form a rim.
  • Brush the crust with a little olive oil and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over the tart.
  • Bake 35–40 minutes until crust is deeply golden and vegetables are tender. Cool 10 minutes, scatter basil, slice, and serve.

Notes

Variation: Swap ricotta with crumbled goat cheese for tang, or add a few sliced olives before baking. To store, refrigerate slices in an airtight container up to 3 days; reheat at 350°F until crisp.
