Ingredients Needed
- 1 sheet of puff pastry or tart crust
- 2 zucchinis, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow squash, sliced
- Olive oil for roasting
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Hollandaise:
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Fresh herbs (such as dill, parsley, and tarragon)
Preparing the Roasted Vegetables
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sliced vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized. Set aside to cool slightly.
Making the Herb-Infused Hollandaise
In a heatproof bowl, whisk egg yolks and lemon juice. Place over simmering water and whisk continuously until the mixture thickens. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter, whisking constantly. Remove from heat and stir in finely chopped fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assembling and Baking the Tart
Roll out the pastry crust and fit it into a tart pan. Blind bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes. Spread the roasted vegetables evenly over the crust. Generously spoon the herb Hollandaise sauce over the vegetables. Bake for an additional 15 minutes until the crust is golden and the sauce is set.
Serving Suggestions
This herb-infused Hollandaise and roasted vegetable tart is best enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Garnish with extra fresh herbs and serve with a side salad for a complete meal. It pairs well with a light white wine or sparkling water with lemon.
