OTTOLENGHI'S VERY FULL ROASTED VEGETABLE TART
A fantastic Mediterranean feast, full to the brim with roasted vegetables. Serves four to six. I think it would work well with phyllo too. This recipe is from Yotam Ottolenghi's vegetarian cookbook "Plenty".

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 230C/gas mark 8. Cut around the pepper stalks, then lift out and discard, along with all the seeds. Put the peppers in a small ovenproof dish, drizzle with oil and put on the top shelf of the oven.
- Mix the aubergine with four tablespoons of oil and season. Tip into a big baking tin and place on the shelf below the peppers. After 12 minutes, add the sweet potato, stir and roast for 12 minutes more. Now add the courgette, stir and roast for a further 10-12 minutes. By now, the peppers should be brown and the vegetables cooked. Remove everything from the oven and turn the heat to 160C/gas mark 2½. Cover the peppers with foil and leave to cool; once cool, peel and tear into strips.
- Meanwhile, heat two tablespoons of oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Sauté the onions with the bay leaves and some salt for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown, soft and sweet. Discard the bay and set aside.
- Grease a 22cm loose-bottomed tart tin. Roll the pastry to a 3mm-thick circle large enough to line the tin with some overhang. Press it into the edges. Line with baking parchment and fill with baking beans. Bake blind for 30 minutes, lift out the paper and beans, and bake for 10-15 minutes more, until golden brown. Remove and allow to cool a little. Spread the onions over the bottom, then top with roasted veg. Scatter over half the thyme, dot first with small chunks of both cheeses and then the tomato halves, cut-side up. Whisk the eggs and cream with some salt and pepper, and pour into the tart; the tomatoes and cheese should remain exposed. Scatter the remaining thyme on top. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the filling sets and turns golden. Rest for at least 10 minutes, then trim off the excess pastry, remove the tart from its tin and serve.

Steps:
- Position the oven racks so that they are evenly spaced, with the second rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to convection roast at 450°F. Cover a rimmed cookie sheet (half sheet pan) with foil and coat with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, toss the eggplant, mushrooms, onion, pepper, squash, and garlic with the olive oil. Spread the vegetables on the prepared pan in an even layer and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast on the top rack in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Reduce the oven temperature to convection bake at 375°F.
- Blend together the Gorgonzola, cream cheese, egg, and Parmesan in a small bowl until smooth.
- Roll half of the pastry out to make a 14-inch round. Fit it into the bottom and sides of an 11-inch tart pan. Sprinkle with rosemary and gently press it into the dough. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the dough. Arrange the roasted vegetables on top. Top this with the egg-cheese mixture. Roll the remaining half of the pastry into a 12-inch round and fit it over the filling so it covers the pie. Brush the edges of the bottom crust with water and crimp the top and bottom edges together to seal. Pierce the top crust a few times with the tip of a knife to make steam vents. Bake the tart on the center rack of the oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
ANY VEGETABLE TART
Perfect for casual entertaining, this rustic tart can be tailored to whatever vegetables you have on hand. The key here is to use either precooked vegetables, or quick-cooking raw vegetables that won't release too much liquid as they bake, making the pastry soggy. (See Tips below, for more.) So the crust tastes like a buttery cheese straw, an optional layer of grated Gruyère or Cheddar is scattered onto the bottom of the baking pan before the dough is placed on top. The whole tart bakes up golden brown, savory and wonderfully crunchy. Serve this on the same day it's baked for maximum flakiness.

Steps:
- Put a rack in the center of the oven and heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper. If you like, you can sprinkle Gruyère or Cheddar onto the center of the liner or paper in an approximate 10-by-13-inch rectangle.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, Parmesan, lemon zest or rosemary, garlic (if using), and pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. Beat in the crème fraîche until smooth.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to form a 10-by-13-inch rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to prepared baking sheet. (Place directly on top of the grated cheese, if applicable.) With a sharp knife, lightly score a 3/4-inch border around the edges of the puff pastry, making sure not to cut the pastry all the way through. Using a fork, prick the pastry all over inside the border at 1-inch intervals.
- Spread crème fraîche mixture evenly inside the scored border. Arrange vegetables in an even layer, using just enough to cover the surface in one layer. Scatter scallions and thyme or rosemary sprigs on top. Lightly drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake until the pastry is puffed and golden, and the vegetables are cooked through, about 25 to 35 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve topped with microgreens, herbs or baby lettuces, and accompanied by lemon or lime wedges, for squeezing.
