    Why you'll love it

    • It's a super-simple dish: just place everything in an ovenproof dish and pop it in the oven.
    • This is a seasonal, vegetarian summer recipe.
    • All you need is a handful of ingredients.
    • You can make it in many ways: removing certain vegetables, for example, or adding peppers. In winter, you can add carrots, leeks, parsnips, squash or beet.

    The ingredients

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

    • Fillo pastry sheets, also called phyllo dough
    • Eggplants : in season from June to September.
    • 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.
    • Zucchini: you can eat them fresh from May to October, when they're in season.
    • Tomatoes: enjoy them from June to September, during their season.
    • Herbs de Provence, to bring even more sunshine to your plate.
    • Pesto
    • A yellow lemon, to give a slightly tangy taste.
    • A smooth, creamy, melt-in-the-mouth burrata.

    • To make this recipe dairy-free, replace the burrata with the vegan cheese of your choice.

    The chef's advice

    Don't add the burrata until you're ready to eat, otherwise it may soften the filo sheets.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I do it in advance?

    I recommend doing it at the last minute (or a few hours in advance at most), as that's when it'll be at its best!

    Which wine to drink with it?

    A dry white wine: summer vegetables go well with a dry, crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio or Vermentino.
    For rosé lovers: a Provence, Grenache or Mourvèdre would be perfect!
    Finally, if you like red wine, opt for a light red, such as a Pinot Noir or Gamay.

    What to bring along?

    This croustade is perfect with a fresh salad or roast potatoes.

    Storage

    This summer vegetable croustade can be stored for 3 days at room temperature, covered with aluminum foil.

    Servings 6 servings
    Prep Time 10 minutes mins
    Cook Time 30 minutes mins
    Total Time 40 minutes mins

    Ingredients

    • 10 fillo pastry sheets also called phyllo dough
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 ⅓ cups tomatoes diced
    • 3 ⅔ cups eggplant diced
    • 2 cups zucchini diced
    • 2 eggs
    • ¾ cup milk
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 tablespoon Herbes de Provence

    • 1 cup burrata
    • ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
    Metric - US Customary

    Instructions

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F/175°C in convection mode. Drizzle olive oil into a rectangular oven-safe dish and spread it evenly with a brush.
    • Place a fillo pastry sheet on your work surface and fold it accordion-style with your fingers. Place it in the dish and repeat the process with the remaining fillo pastry sheets.
    • Drizzle another olive oil on top of the fillo pastry sheet. Cut thin strips of eggplant, zucchini, and tomato, and add them into the folds of the fillo pastry sheets.
    • In a bowl, mix the milk, eggs, garlic powder, and Herbes de Provence. Pour the mixture over the fillo pastry sheets and vegetables.
    • Season with salt and pepper, then bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
    • After removing from the oven, add the Pesto and lemon zest. Only add the burrata when ready to serve, as it might soften the fillo pastry sheets if added too early.
