Any Vegetable Tart

Perfect for casual entertaining, this rustic tart can be tailored to whatever vegetables you have on hand. The key here is to use either precooked vegetables, or quick-cooking raw vegetables that won’t release too much liquid as they bake, making the pastry soggy. (See Tips below, for more.) So the crust tastes like a buttery cheese straw, an optional layer of grated Gruyère or Cheddar is scattered onto the bottom of the baking pan before the dough is placed on top. The whole tart bakes up golden brown, savory and wonderfully crunchy. Serve this on the same day it’s baked for maximum flakiness.
