How to Make Rustic Summer Squash Tart

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 medium yellow squash, 1 medium zucchini (both diced into ½-inch pieces) and ½ cup thinly sliced shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 7-10 minutes, or until squash is crisp-tender and lightly browned.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, 2 cloves minced garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Allow to cool completely to room temperature.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll one 14-inch circle of refrigerated pie crust onto the parchment paper.
  6. Gently roll the crust out to a 13-inch round using a rolling pin.
  7. Sprinkle ½ cup crumbled feta cheese evenly over the crust, leaving a 2-inch border.
  8. Arrange the cooled squash mixture, ½ cup thinly sliced red bell pepper, and 1 cup sliced tomatoes over the cheese.
  9. Fold the edges of the crust over the filling, crimping to seal. Brush the crust with 1 large egg, beaten.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
  11. Carefully slide the tart, still on the parchment paper, onto a wire rack to cool slightly.
  12. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup feta cheese over the top.
  13. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
