Greek Tort

July 23, 2012

Are you in the mood for something light and healthy for dinner during these dog-days of August? Here is a quick an easy recipe a friend gave me. It was inspired by a picture on a magazine cover, but the recipe and ingredients were changed to avoid any precooking and to give it a "Greek Flair":

• On cookie sheet, roll out one of the pre-made pie crusts from the refrigerator section of store
• drizzle with olive oil
• cover with thin slices of 1/2 zucchini and 1/2 yellow squash (leave the outer 1 inch of dough uncovered)
• cover with thin slices of onion
• sprinkle with 3 cloves of finely chopped garlic
• cover with 1/2 package of crumbled feta cheese
• sprinkle with fair amount of dried Greek oregano
• cover with thin slices of ripe tomato
• sprinkle with dash of salt and pepper
• drizzle with olive oil again
• roll up the outer edges of the crust (sort of like a pie)
• bake at 425 for 35-40 minutes

Enjoy!!!
