Must-Try Recipe: Easy & Delicious Filo Tomato, Zucchini, and Feta Upside-Down Tart!

As the warm weather returns, there’s a natural desire to indulge in recipes that are simple, quick, seasonal, and most importantly, light. Heavy, sauce-laden dishes or those dripping with cheese are not on the menu. Instead, we crave something fresh… Thankfully, social media is a treasure trove of great culinary ideas.

On her Instagram account belqisvl, a content creator suggests putting a twist on the traditional savory tarte tatin by using phyllo dough. Described as “crispy yet tender,” her version of the tart is a true treat for the taste buds and it’s ready in just minutes! Follow along to learn how to easily recreate this recipe at home.

To make a large tart, you will need:

• 7 sheets of phyllo dough
• 200 g of cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 raw grated zucchini
• 1 sliced red onion
• 150 g of crumbled feta cheese
• 2 sprigs of rosemary
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of balsamic cream or honey
• Salt and pepper
• Toppings: pumpkin seeds, pine nuts, green onions, etc.

1. Start by preheating your oven to 160 °C. Wash the zucchini, then grate it into a bowl with a pinch of salt. Let it sit for a few minutes, then squeeze out the excess water with your hands.
2. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and finely chop the red onion.
3. Line a large oven-safe skillet (or a dish of your choosing) with parchment paper, drizzle some olive oil and balsamic cream over it. You can also add some honey if you like.
4. Season with salt and pepper, then place the cherry tomatoes cut-side down. Add the red onion, squeezed grated zucchini, and crumbled feta.
5. Unroll the phyllo dough and brush it with melted butter or olive oil.
6. Gently crumple the dough with your hands and lay it over the vegetables. Repeat this step with all the sheets until the entire surface is covered.
7. Finish with a drizzle of oil, the rosemary sprigs, and a pinch of salt, then bake for 20 to 30 minutes at 160 °C.
8. Once the top is golden and crispy, remove the tart from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Carefully invert the tart onto a serving plate, making sure to loosen the edges with a knife if necessary.
9. Sprinkle with seeds and any other toppings you prefer. Enjoy your meal!
