Stuffed Zucchini Blossom

Sundays mean farmers market. Farmers market means random fruits and vegetables. Random fruits and vegetables mean Nicole getting curious. Today I found zucchini blossoms. A little expensive but soooooo worth it. So what do you do with a vegetable you aren't sure about stuff it with cheese and fry it. So that is what I did and it came out to be an absolutely delectable appetizer. Have fun and eat up!



Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms

6-8 zucchini blossoms
½ cup flour
½ scant cup milk (of your choice)

2 tbsp Italian bread crumbs

2 tsp garlic salt
Dash of tri-pepper (white, black and red pepper)
4 ounces ricotta
1/8 cup mozzarella
1/8 cup Parmesan cheese
½ tsp of each Basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary
½ tsp smashed garlic
¼ Italian sausage (optional)
½ vegetable, ½ olive oil for frying

First cut the zucchini from the blossom. Next mix the flour, milk, bread crumbs, garlic salt, and tri-pepper. In a separate bowl mix the three cheeses, spices and garlic. Take the blossom and put about a tbsp of the cheese mixture in the middle of each blossom, then twist the tops of each and dunk in flour milk mixture. Shake off excess mixture and dunk in oil 3 at a time. Fry for about 4 minutes just when it is golden brown. Place on paper towel and sprinkle with salt.
