- 2 medium green zucchini (about 10 ounces)
- 2 medium yellow squash (about 10 ounces)
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 2 large leeks (about 12 ounces), white part only, washed well and cut into 1/3-inch dice
- 1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
- 1 large whole egg plus 1 large egg yolk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 16-by-6-inch rectangle.
- Fit dough into a 14-by-4-inch rectangular tart pan with a removable bottom (or a bottomless tart form) set on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, and trim excess dough flush with rim.
- Pierce bottom of shell all over with a fork.
- Refrigerate or freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Line shell with parchment.
- Fill with pie weights or dried beans.
- Bake until crust is just beginning to brown, about 15 minutes.
- Remove weights and parchment.
- Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes more.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- (Keep oven on.)
- Using a mandoline or sharp knife, very thinly slice 1 zucchini and 1 squash lengthwise.
- Place slices in a single layer on a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Let drain 30 minutes.
- Cut remaining zucchini and squash into 1/3-inch dice.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high.
- Add diced zucchini, diced squash, and leeks, and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook until golden brown but still firm, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Let vegetables cool slightly.
- Spread in an even layer in prepared crust; sprinkle cheese evenly on top.
- In a bowl, whisk together whole egg, egg yolk, and cream, and season with salt and pepper.
- Carefully pour egg mixture over cheese and vegetables.
- Place salted squash slices in between double layers of paper towels.
- Gently press down to remove as much liquid as possible.
- Alternating squash colors, weave lattice pattern over top of filling, covering the entire surface.
