Elegant and flavorful mini zucchini tartlets made with flaky puff pastry, creamy goat cheese filling, and fresh vegetables—perfect for parties, brunches, or light appetizers.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 tartlets

Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced

1 cup goat cheese, softened

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry and cut into 3-inch circles or squares.
  3. In a bowl, mix goat cheese and cream cheese until smooth. Stir in garlic, basil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté zucchini slices for 2–3 minutes until tender. Set aside.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange puff pastry pieces on it.
  6. Spoon a small dollop of the cheese mixture onto each pastry base and spread slightly.
  7. Top with zucchini slices and halved cherry tomatoes.
  8. Brush pastry edges with beaten egg for a golden crust.
  9. Bake for 15–20 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  10. Cool slightly and garnish with extra fresh basil before serving.

Notes

Add caramelized onions or roasted red peppers for a sweeter flavor.

Sprinkle mozzarella or Parmesan for extra richness.

Use feta or ricotta for a milder cheese flavor.

Serve warm, at room temperature, or slightly chilled.

Reheat in the oven for 8–10 minutes to keep pastry crisp.
