200 g grated cheese (mozzarella, cheddar or your favorite cheese)
Salt, to taste
7 tbsp sour
cream 2 garlic cloves, chopped
Smoked paprika, to taste
Zucchini needs to be young and firm to retain its cooking stability. Cutting it into a fan creates a texture that’s both melting and slightly crispy.
The tomatoes provide juice and acidity, which balance the sweetness of the zucchini. Choose them very ripe for more flavor.
Grated cheese is the gourmet ingredient in this recipe. Mozzarella for a melty texture, Cheddar for a richer flavor, Emmental, or even Parmesan, depending on your taste.
Sour cream provides a creamy texture and coats the vegetables. You can substitute it with heavy cream or Greek yogurt.
Garlic refines the preparation in a subtle way and provides an essential fragrance.
Smoked paprika adds a unique, slightly woody flavor. You can substitute it with sweet paprika or a spice blend of your choice.
