They are simple to make and can be easily customized with the preferred herbs, sausage, or bacon.

INGREDIENTS:

TO MAKE THE CRUST:

  • One & half cups of almond flour
  • One Big egg
  • Two tablespoon Butter
  • One-fourth tsp. salt

TO MAKE THE FILING:

  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • One teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper
  • Fresh basil or parsley
  • Two tablespoons of cream cheese

INGREDIENTS NOTES:

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • This flour is low in carbs as well as gluten-free, and provides a crumbly surface and nutty taste in the base. We don’t have to use the traditional flour; otherwise, the dish will not remain keto-friendly.

ZUCCHINI:

  • We use fresh zucchini to make these tarts, and we have to grate and squeeze all the water content before adding it to the dish to prevent it from getting soggy.

MOZZARELLA AND PARMESAN CHEESE:

  • We have to use the full-fat mozzarella and parmesan cheese for the richness and creamy texture of the tarts.

CREAM CHEESE:

  • You would have to utilize full-fat and soft cream cheese in the mix to handle it easily.

EGGS:

  • Eggs help to bind the components together, and they also help to set the tart, so we have to add the eggs to this dish.

FRESH HERBS:

  • We use oregano and garlic to make this tart more flavorful and aromatic without the additional carbs.

BUTTER:

  • We can brush the butter on the crust to make it rich and perfectly brown.

INSTRUCTION:

  1. We can put it in the oven at a temperature of 350°F.
  2. Then we can include the egg, almond flour, melted butter, & salt in the bowl to create the dough for the crust.
  3. We can evenly press into muffin tin cups or tart pans.
  4. Put the tray in oven for eight minutes to prepare the crust
  5. We can grate the zucchini and lay it in a fresh towel or cheesecloth to drain the extra moisture while the crust bakes.
  6. Now we can add the zucchini and the Parmesan, oregano, garlic, mozzarella, eggs, cream cheese, salt, and pepper powder in a mixing bowl and stir thoroughly.
  7. We can evenly spoon the zucchini mixture into the crusts.
  8. Now we can again put the tin in the oven for a further fifteen to twenty minutes, or until the filling gets set and the upper part gets brown.
  9. When it gets prepared put the tarts in plate and cool for 5 minutes.
  10. We can garnish the tart with fresh herbs and serve.

TIPS:

  • We have to properly drain the zucchini so that the filling will not get mushy.
  • You would include the prepared bacon or sausage in the filling to make it more flavorful and tasty.
