We all love a good flaky tart but often making the tart crust can feel a little daunting or too much work. On those days, store bought puff pastry comes extremely handy.

EASY Zucchini Tart
Takes 10 minutes to prepareTakes about 30 minutes to bake. You bake the empty crust for 15 minutes and then for 15 to 20 minutes with the filling on it.
I prefer to prebake the crust before layering the filling. This way the tart gets baked through all the way without leaving any uncooked dough in the center. After layering the filling, I bake it again for 15 to 17 minutes to get that perfect golden crust.
Substitute of Sour Cream?
You can use ricotta cheese, goat cheese or cream cheese instead.
Spiralizing the Zucchini
It’s just fun to make Zucchini noodles using a Vegetable Spiralizer and kids love this task. You can however just use a vegetable peeler to make zucchini ribbons instead. Or you could just thinly slice the zucchini.
Whether you use puff pastry crust or make a crust from scratch, the sour cream filling with the zucchini and thyme tastes amazing. If you want to make a crust from scratch, here is a recipe that might help.
