This savory tart is filled with warm goat cheese and fresh basil, topped with yellow squash, zucchini, red bell peppers, and red onions. Using summer vegetables from your garden you can create a delicious and impressive summer vegetable tart. My husband and I love goat cheese and summer vegetables, so naturally I was drawn to this vegetable tart the moment I saw it. The tangy flavor of the goat cheese accompanied by robust vegetables is delightful. With the abundance of the gorgeous produce that summer brings, a visit to the local farmers market will inspire you to make this stunning veggie tart.

Allow tart to cool to room temperature.Using a mandoline, slice squash, zucchini, and bell pepper into rounds and onion into half-moons, 1/8 inch thick. Sprinkle goat cheese and basil over bottom of the tart.
