A go-to recipe when your garden’s at its peak. If you have some sweet tomatoes on hand, chop them and add them to the filling. And if zucchini isn’t your thing, you could swap in different vegetables, including a handful of fresh baby spinach leaves or a bell pepper cut into matchstick strips. Just be sure to cook whichever vegetable you use until it’s crisp-tender. Goat cheese is often sold in logs as small as 3 oz (about 3⁄4 cup crumbled), making it a good purchase for smaller households.
