Store-bought puff pastry is the base for olive-oil-kissed yellow squash and zucchini. Next, a variety of savory herbal elements make their appearance. Shallots, garlic, and thyme added complexity without overpowering the fresh taste of the squash. A combination of Parmesan and goat cheese provides a bit of comforting creaminess as well as a great zippy bite of sharpness.

You go from preparation to done in a matter of minutes. The hardest thing is waiting another fourteen to fifteen minutes to get the tart all nice and golden.
