I want to share this easy springtime appetizer which not only looks pretty but in addition, is also bursting with flavor.
Puff Pastry
Puff pastry is a flaky light pastry made from a laminated dough composed of dough and butter. The butter is put inside the dough, ready, and waiting, which is repeatedly folded and rolled out before baking. In this recipe, I use store-bought puff pastry to make a quick and easy tart. You can use the entire sheet to make a big tart or shape smaller individual tarts.
The zucchini or courgette is a summer squash. Zucchini has a good amount of potassium additionally is also high in the antioxidant vitamin C, which may help the lining of your blood cells function better, lowering blood pressure and protecting against clogged arteries. Great simple vegetable which can so versatile when it comes to cooking.
I love this tart, it is one of my favorites not to mention so easy to make. It has all the right colors to lift your spirits, and all the aromas to entice your appetite. It is a perfect appetizer for any gathering. A delicious start for a wonderful meal you may be sharing with people that you cherish.
