Individual Courgette, Lemon, and Ricotta Galettes

These individual courgette, lemon, and ricotta galettes are a wonderful celebration of seasonal produce. This vegetarian dish combines a crisp, buttery pastry crust with a bright, savoury filling of creamy ricotta and tender sautéed courgettes. The addition of fresh lemon zest and juice provides a clean, citrusy lift that cuts through the richness of the cheese, making it a sophisticated choice for a weekend lunch or a light alfresco dinner.

Crafted as individual portions, these rustic tarts are as practical as they are elegant. They can be prepared in advance, allowing the flavours to settle, and they taste just as delicious served at room temperature as they do warm from the oven. Pair them with a simple green salad or some roasted vine tomatoes for a complete, homemade meal that showcases the very best of simple, high-quality ingredients.
