These elegant mini courgette and goat’s cheese tarts are a sophisticated addition to any summer gathering. The combination of creamy, tangy goat’s cheese and thinly sliced courgette creates a delicate balance of flavours, while the fresh lemon thyme provides a bright, aromatic finish. Arranging the courgette slices in a floral pattern makes these bite-sized treats as visually appealing as they are delicious, ensuring they stand out on any buffet table or sharing platter.
As a versatile vegetarian starter, these tarts are perfect for light entertaining or as a seasonal canapé. The pastry bases can be prepared in advance and kept in the freezer, making them an excellent choice for stress-free hosting. Serve them warm from the oven to appreciate the golden, flaky crust, or at room temperature for a relaxed garden lunch.

Ingredients for Mini Courgette and Goat Cheese Tarts
1 refrigerated pie crust (half of 425g package)
1.1kg 1-inch-diameter courgette, cut into 1/16- to 1/8-inch-thick rounds
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus additional for drizzling
2 teaspoons chopped fresh lemon thyme or regular thyme
90g soft fresh goat cheese, room temperature
30g freshly grated Parmesan cheese
How to make Mini Courgette and Goat Cheese Tarts
Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place pie crust on floured work surface. Using 1 1/2- to 1 3/4-inch biscuit cutter or biscuit cutter dipped in flour, cut out 24 rounds; transfer to prepared sheet, spacing 1/2 inch apart. Place in freezer until dough is firm, about 30 minutes. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; keep frozen.
Toss courgette with 1 teaspoon salt in medium bowl. Let stand 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Place courgette in another medium bowl; toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil and thyme. Sprinkle courgette with pepper.
Preheat oven to 204°C. Spread goat cheese generously over each frozen dough round. Fold 3 to 4 courgette slices in half and place in concentric circle atop 1 dough round, creating flower-like pattern. Repeat with remaining courgette and dough (reserve any remaining courgette for another use). Sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until crusts are light golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer to platter. Drizzle lightly with additional olive oil. Serve warm or at room temperature.
