Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, grated parmesan cheese, eggs, and heavy cream.

7

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and a pinch of nutmeg.

8

Fold in the sautéed onion and garlic, along with chopped fresh basil.

9

Gently fold in the zucchini flowers, taking care not to tear them.

10

Pour the filling into the prepared tart shell, spreading it evenly.

11

Halve the cherry tomatoes and arrange them on top of the filling.

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the filling is set and the pastry is golden brown.
