Comments
This recipe is from Anja’s Food 4 Thought. She made it in a tart pan but I don’t have any of those, so I opted for a 9 by 12-inch baking dish which worked well enough! I was also out of small tomatoes, so I used larger ones that I cut into thin slices. That worked very well I felt!
Art and I really enjoyed this dish but Lance wasn’t a huge fan of the dough. If I make it in the future, I’ll look for a different tart dough recipe that will work with the zucchini and tomatoes.
