Ingredients

For the pesto:

  • 30 g parmesan
  • 15 g of basil
  • 20 g pine nuts
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 50 g olive oil
  • Sal Island

For the rest of the toasts:

  • 6 medium slices
  • 6 thin slices of zucchini
  • 6 slices of serrano ham
  • Pinions

Preparation

  1. In a toaster we are toasting the slices of bread while we prepare the rest of the recipe.

  2. In a frying pan without oil, lightly brown the pine nuts of the pesto and also those that we will use to decorate. We withdraw and reserve.

  3. We put the cheese in the glass and grate it for 15 seconds, speed 10.

  4. We add the garlic, the basil leaves, the oil, the salt and only 20 g of the pine nuts that we have toasted, the rest we reserve until the end of the recipe.
    We shred 15 seconds, speed 7. We withdraw and reserve.

  5. For assembly:

    On the slices already toasted, spread a generous layer of pesto.

    We distribute the thin slices of zucchini and also the slices of Serrano ham that we will place on top.

    We finished decorating with the toasted pine nuts that we had reserved.

    We put the toasts on a tray or on a table and serve them.

Do you want to know more about these ham, zucchini and pesto toasts?

On more than one occasion I have already told you that tostas and bruschettas they give a lot of play because they are easy and there are thousand and one versions.

Today's have a different combination because they carry raw zucchini that gives it a very particular crunchy touch. If you prefer, you can also iron it a bit, although, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and you will save work.

Another good thing about these toasts is that, in addition to being fast, they are made with ingredients easy to find in the fridge. So jump in now because I'm sure you will be surprised.

I grind the pesto in any of its versions. This time I used the Genoese pesto but I am looking forward to trying this recipe with others such as walnuts or red that will surely provide delicious notes.

This type of recipe is great for preparing a simple dinner. It is best to first serve a cold cream or gazpachoThis way you will be able to control your diet and make it varied and healthy.

The toasts allow any kind of bread. Today's is buckwheat with seeds. A gluten-free version that is suitable for celiacs and intolerant people.

This recipe will also help you take advantage of some pesto that you have left over to make a Lasagna or pasta recipe. So you will not have to throw anything away and you will save in the kitchen.
