I didn’t know what to prepare for dinner, had little in the fridge, and used the ingredients I had to make a tasty and delightful rustic flatbread.

Ingredients
- 7 oz feta

- 5 oz scamorza
- 1 zucchini (large)
- 1 sheet puff pastry (rectangular)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Steps
● The zucchini puff pastry is very simple and quick to prepare. First, clean the zucchini, slice them very thinly (I used a mandoline, but if you don’t have one, use a classic knife) and season them with oil, salt, and black pepper.
● Unroll the sheet of puff pastry, fill it with slices of cooked ham, add crumbled feta, the zucchini, and fold the edges inward.
● Bake the zucchini puff pastry in a preheated oven at 392°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, remove it from the oven, add diced scamorza, a bit of oregano and bake it again for a few minutes, just enough time to melt the cheese.
Notes:
The zucchini puff pastry can be kept at room temperature for a few hours or in the fridge for a couple of days. You can replace the ham with speck or omit deli meats for a vegetarian version. You can use any cheese you prefer instead of feta, such as stracchino, robiola, taleggio, spreadable, or other creamy cheeses to taste.
