    💙 Why you'll love it

    • It's as quick as it is simple: just sauté the zucchini, top the pastry and bake quickly.
    • It's absolutely delicious and super gourmand.
    • It's guaranteed to wow your guests every time.

    🧀 Ingredients

    These are the main ingredients, and the quantities can be found in the recipe card below.

    • Puff pastry: to speed things up, I use store-bought puff pastry.
    • Garlic - if you want to choose your garlic carefully so you do not encourage the slavery of Chinese prisoners, read my Eco Tips on the subject.
    • Yellow or white onion.
    • Zucchini: in season from May to October. Out of season, you can use frozen zucchinis, but make sure they have released their water before putting them on the dough.
    • Herbs: I use herbes de Provence and thyme to flavour this recipe.
    • Basil Pesto
    • A large burrata: this cheese is so melting and creamy. You can, of course, replace it with any other cheese you like.
    • One egg yolk - ideally pasture-raised organic. You can refer to the Eco Tips I've written on eggs to help you choose the right ones.

    💡 Frequently Asked Questions

    How to make a pretty flaky braid?

    It's very simple: leave a vertical strip in the middle for your filling. Using a knife, make cuts from the bottom to the top of the pastry. Place the filling on top and fold the notched pieces towards the middle of the pastry. Simply brush with egg yolk, add the seeds of your choice and place in the oven.

    ❄️Storage

    Theoretically, it can be kept in the fridge, but the crispness of the dough may soften. So eat it as soon as it comes out of the oven. But believe me, it's so good it won't last long anyway!
