Eggplant, Feta, and Lemon Tart
This easy eggplant tart recipe is elegant and incredibly flavorful. The thinly sliced eggplant melts into the buttery pastry, and the thin slices of lemon brightens up every bite (they soften in the heat of the oven). And did we mention the slices of feta? This flavorful tart is the star of any dinner party as a veggie main, or slice into small squares for a bite-sized appetizer. Plus, it's the perfect excuse to explore different types of eggplant at the farmer's market. Za’atar is a classic Middle Eastern spice blend of sumac (a citrusy, dried berry), sesame seeds, and other herbs like oregano, thyme, and marjoram. Basically, it’s a shortcut to amazing flavor on any dish. After you've made this tart, try stirring za’atar into olive oil and drizzle over Greek yogurt for an easy dip, or sprinkle it over a chicken before roasting.
