Tarta de Zapallitos

Cultural Context

Originating from the culinary traditions of Argentina, Tarta de Zapallitos is a beloved dish that showcases the versatility of zucchini, often used in home cooking. This savory tart is a staple in Argentine households, particularly during the summer months when zucchinis are abundant. It reflects the country's agricultural bounty and is often served as a light lunch or appetizer. Today, variations can be found across Latin America, adapting to local ingredients and tastes.

Spread a thin layer of a mixture of 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and stone ground mustard on the bottom of the uncooked crust.

Crumble 4 oz of feta cheese over the mayonnaise mixture in the crust.
