Vegetable tart

This dish that i've invented is such a great way to use up bits and pieces of vegetables that you have left in the fridge and its really pretty and appetizing.  I used onion, mushrooms, zucchini, tomato and artichoke hearts but you can use any vegetables you like.

Ingredients:
3-4 types of vegetables, your choose, chopped
2 tsp Olive oil
Salt
Garlic powder
Black pepper
9 inch pie crust
1 egg

1. Saute your vegetables one by one to make sure they are almost fully cooked to your desired tenderness.
I put the onions in first since they take the longest to tenderize over low heat

Then the mushrooms


The zucchini went next


And lastly the artichoke hearts and chopped tomato since they just needed to be warmed.

2. Layer the vegetable onto a rolled out pie crust (pierce the pie crust in various places with a fork so the crust doesn't puff up).  Leave approximately 1 1/2 to 2 inches around the edges of the crust.





3. Once you have all of your vegetables layered on top of the pie crust fold up the edges a few inches at a time, until all the edges are rounded up over the vegetables




4. Brush the top of the tart with egg wash (made by whisking one egg with a tablespoon of water)


5. Bake the tart for 12-15 minutes or until the top is golden brown




ENJOY!
