   **Ingredients**

   * 6 small potatoes
   * 3 small zucchinis
   * 2 bell peppers, red and yellow
   * 2 beef tomatoes
   * 250g/0.5lbs feta cheese
   * a bunch of basil
   * 2tbs basil pesto
   * 8 puff pastry sheets
   * 4 eggs
   * 4tbs olive oil
   * Salt, black pepper
   * 2tbs butter
   * 1tsp Jamaica pepper or chili flakes

   **Method**

   1. Boil potatoes until soft; peel and cut in half
   2. Meanwhile, cut zucchinis and bell peppers into small pieces; fry in a pan with olive oil, salt, pepper; transfer to a big bowl
   3. Cut tomatoes into small pieces and add to the bowl along with the potatoes
   4. Preheat oven to 200C/390F
   5. Melt butter in a pot, and use to grease a 26cm/10in springform; mix leftover butter with pesto
   6. To assemble the tarte, all pastry sheets go at the bottom of the springform, each one slightly offset from the others with one corner hanging over the form’s edge – the goal is to fill the form with the vegetable mix and then fold the corners over them to meet at the centre ([here is a video](https://www.wildeisen.ch/amp/rezepte/strudelteig-tarte-mit-pflaumen) (skip to 4:30))
   7. Save some basil leaves for garnish, and mix the rest with eggs, feta, chili flakes; blend to a creamy mass; mix with vegetables, then transfer everything to the spring form; fold the pastry corners over the filling
   8. Bake for 30-45 minutes, let it rest for 15min after; garnish with basil
