Easy Zucchini and Carrot Tarte is great for any meal of the day. I made this for dinner the other night and had it with salad. It comes together in minutes and is delicious.
You could even do it for a nice addition to a brunch menu. You can make it ahead of time and reheat before serving.
I originally had this tarte Il Tosco in Montepulciano, Italy. You might remember I shared a reel about it. Every morning they serve a delicious breakfast. Clori (her family owns the B & B), makes the most delicious creations in the B & B kitchen. On one of my stays there while we were doing construction on my home, I had this tart. I knew I had to make it back at home.
I hope you will try it!!!
