Ingredients
  

1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed)

2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced

2 medium tomatoes, sliced

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

1 large egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.

    Prepare the Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry until it reaches a size suitable for a 9-inch tart or pie pan. Carefully transfer the pastry into the pan, pressing it gently into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess pastry hanging over the edges to achieve a neat finish.

      Add the Feta Layer: Evenly sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese across the bottom of the prepared pastry shell. This will serve as a flavorful foundation that enhances the overall taste of the tart.

        Layer the Vegetables: Begin layering the thin zucchini and tomato slices alternately over the feta. Overlap the slices slightly in a circular pattern for an aesthetically pleasing presentation, ensuring an even distribution of flavors with each bite.

          Season the Tart: In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until well blended. Drizzle this aromatic mixture generously over the layered vegetables to ensure they are evenly coated with flavor.

            Apply the Egg Wash: Carefully brush the edges of the exposed puff pastry with the beaten egg. This step will help achieve a beautiful golden color during baking.

              Bake the Tart: Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes. You'll know it’s ready when the pastry is puffed and golden brown, and the vegetables are tender and aromatic.

                Garnish and Serve: Once the tart is baked to perfection, allow it to cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh basil leaves. This will add a burst of color and freshness to the dish.

                  Enjoy: Slice the tart and serve it warm or at room temperature. It makes for a delightful appetizer or a light main meal that is sure to impress!
