Summer Vegetable & Queso Tostadas with Fairy Tale Eggplants & Spicy Crema

In this recipe, crunchy, pan-toasted tortillas provide the platform for a wealth of seasonal produce—including creamy fairy tale eggplant and crisp bell pepper (which may be green or purple, depending on what’s best at the farms closest to you). For a satisfying range of textures, we’re adding queso para freír, a deliciously briny, fresh cheese that holds up beautifully to pan frying. Chefs, be sure to dry the cheese thoroughly before adding it to the pan, which ensures a deeply flavorful crust.
