Pro Tips
Cut the vegetables into similar sizes for even grilling.
Feel free to add other seasonal vegetables like eggplant or asparagus.
For a lighter option, use a whole wheat puff pastry.
Troubleshooting
If the puff pastry doesn't rise, ensure it's cold before baking.
If the topping is too watery, pre-grill the vegetables to remove excess moisture.
Recipe Variations
Add cooked chicken or shrimp for extra protein.
Use different seasonal herbs to change the flavor profile.
Healthy Alternatives
Replace goat cheese with feta or a plant-based cheese for a healthier twist.
Use homemade pastry for a lower-calorie option.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with a side salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette.
Pair with a fresh herb pesto for extra flavor.
