This easygoing pie is Southern comfort at its best. Country cooking is straightforward, seasonal, and delicious.
This tart is so scrumptious that you can serve it at any time of the day. It’s appropriate for brunch, a healthy lunch, for a savory picnic, or even a fun, light family dinner next to a big salad. For dessert, we like to serve lemon cookies.

Fresh Zucchini Tart is an ingenious way to camouflage veggies for your kids (or husband!). They won’t even realize what hit them.😉
This tart is reminiscent of my Tomato Cheese Tart and Tomato Pie. It’s quick and easy to make and a great way to use fresh zucchini.

- First, you can substitute yellow squash for the zucchini if you prefer.
- Also, you can use pie crust or pizza crust for the crust.
- If you want to get really decadent, cover the top with crust
butter crackers and a drizzle ofbutter . - I prefer to saute the zucchini and onions until they are soft. However, you can put the raw vegetables in the tart to bake if you prefer more firm zucchini and onions.
