Puff pastry and ground meat tart
Ingredients:
- 1 package of puff pastry
- 1 lb of ground meat
- 1 onion
- 1 zucchini
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Salt
- Pepper
- Dried marjoram
- Olive oil
For the topping:
- 2 eggs
- 3.5 oz of yellow cheese, grated
- 7 fl oz of 18% cream
Preparation method:
- First, bake the puff pastry. Line a tart pan with it, prick it with a fork (to prevent it from rising), and cover it with parchment paper. It's best to add some weight to hold the pastry in place. Place the prepared pastry in an oven preheated to 355°F for about 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small amount of oil, sauté the chopped onion and garlic, then add the zucchini.
- After a few minutes, add the ground meat and spices to the pan. Mix everything together, and when the meat is cooked through, remove it from the heat.
- Spread the prepared filling onto the pre-baked puff pastry.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, mix them with the cream and grated cheese, season with salt and pepper, mix again, and pour over the ground meat in the puff pastry.
- Bake for 25 minutes at 355°F. Enjoy!
