Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and cold, cubed butter. Rub together with your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually mix in cold water until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
While the dough is chilling, cut the red bell pepper, zucchini, and eggplant into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
On a baking tray, toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a circle about 30 cm (12 inches) wide. Carefully transfer to a tart tin, pressing it gently into the edges and trimming any excess.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, a pinch of salt, nutmeg, and fresh thyme.
Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese over the base of the tart shell. Add the roasted vegetables evenly on top.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the vegetables and cheese, ensuring an even distribution.
Bake the tart in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
