  1. To prepare the Zucchini Tart with Melting Heart, begin by thoroughly washing the zucchini. Trim the ends and cut them into small pieces. In a pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil and add minced garlic, sautéing for a few seconds until fragrant. Add the zucchini, season with salt and pepper, splash in some white wine, and cook over low heat for about ten minutes, or until the zucchini are tender.

  3. Grease the aluminum muffin tins thoroughly and pour 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture into each tin. Now, add a piece of gorgonzola cheese (about the size of a walnut) in the center, then fill with more mixture until the tin is nearly full, leaving about 2-3 mm of space from the edge to allow for rising during cooking.

  4. Place all the filled muffin tins in a baking dish and fill the dish with water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the tins. Bake in a preheated convection oven at 140°C (284°F) for about 30-40 minutes, allowing the steam to help cook the tart evenly.
