Preparation:

The Tostadas recipe with fontina cheese, zucchini and prawns is a simple and tasty option for a dinner with friends. This dish is quick to prepare and very tasty, perfect for an informal and convivial evening.

Here is the simple and quick recipe for Tostadas with fontina cheese, zucchini and prawns, which will conquer the palate of all guests. Start by frying the sliced courgettes in a pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, browning them lightly. Then add the garlic and keep it on medium heat for a minute, being careful not to let it burn. Add the prawns and cook over low heat for about 4 minutes, season with salt and pepper and stir occasionally. For an extra touch of flavour, you can add a glass of whiskey or brandy and let it evaporate before turning off the heat. Shell the prawns and keep only the tail.

Subsequently, cut the bread into slices about one cm thick and let it brown in a preheated oven at 200 degrees or on a hot plate or even in the toaster. Cut the fontina cheese into thin slices and put them on the slices of bread, then add the courgettes and prawns on top.

Bake in the still hot oven or put them in the microwave until the fontina is completely melted and dripping, thus creating a tasty and creamy tostada.

To enhance the marine flavors of this dish, I suggest you combine it with a fresh and fragrant white wine, such as a fragrant and fruity Vermentino from Sardinia, or a Muller Thurgau from South Tyrol with an aromatic and lively bouquet, which will worthily enhance this dish.

Enjoy your meal!
