In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut the unsalted butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough begins to come together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté for 3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the sliced zucchini, red bell pepper, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and stir in the dried oregano.
Roll out the chilled dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet to a rough 12-inch circle.
Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
Top the vegetables with halved cherry tomatoes and crumbled goat cheese.
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as necessary, leaving the center exposed.
Brush the folded edges of the crust with the beaten egg.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and sprinkle with chopped fresh basil before serving.
