Instructions

 

For the Crust:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and ice water. Gradually add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, mixing until the dough comes together.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until smooth. Shape it into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

For the Filling:

• In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent.
• Add the diced red and green bell peppers, zucchini, and cooked ham (if using) to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and let it cool.
• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a tart pan or pie dish.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle large enough to fit your tart pan or pie dish. Transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared pan, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides.
• Spread the cooked vegetable and ham mixture evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese on top.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese in the tart pan.
• Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is set.
• Remove from the oven and let the Argentinian Tartas cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
