Tomato-Zucchini Tart with Goat Cheese

For this tart, a simple mixture of summer vegetables and fresh goat cheese bakes in a buttery cornmeal crust. Look for stone-ground cornmeal, which retains more of the nutritious (and flavorful) germ and bran than corn ground by metal grinders. Serve thin slices of the tart for a beautiful appetizer, or accompany it with a salad for a light lunch.
