Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 40 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Number of servings: 8

Necessary ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 200 g ham (preferably quality, thinly sliced)
- 200 g flour
- 3 eggs
- 200 ml sour cream (you can use full-fat sour cream for a richer taste)
- 100 ml milk
- 100 g grated cheese (optional, to add a layer of flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Olive oil for greasing the pan

Preparation:

1. Start by preparing the ingredients. Wash the zucchini and cut it into thin slices or cubes, depending on your preference. If you want a finer texture, you can grate it.

2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sour cream and milk. Add salt and pepper to taste. This combination will provide moisture to your tart.

3. Add the sifted flour and baking powder to the egg mixture, mixing well to avoid lumps. It is important to achieve a smooth batter. If you want a fluffier texture, mix the ingredients with a spatula, avoiding over-beating the mixture.

4. Incorporate the zucchini and diced ham. If you choose to use grated cheese, add it now to enhance the tart's flavor.

5. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a tart pan with olive oil. You can use a pan with a diameter of about 24 cm to achieve a perfectly proportioned tart.

6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, ensuring that the zucchini and ham are evenly distributed. This will help with even baking.

7. Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the surface is golden and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. If you notice it browning too quickly, you can cover the tart with aluminum foil.

8. Once the tart is baked, let it cool slightly before slicing. This will help stabilize the mixture and yield beautiful slices.

Serving suggestions:
Ham and zucchini tart can be served warm or at room temperature. You can accompany it with a salad of fresh greens or a yogurt and dill sauce for an extra touch of freshness. It is also delicious alongside a refreshing drink.

Possible variations:
To customize the recipe, you can experiment with other ingredients, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or even olives. You can also replace the ham with cooked chicken or tofu for a vegetarian option, keeping the same zucchini base.
