Description

Pick the flowers off your zucchini plants as soon as you see some zucchini has started to come in under the flower. A very tasty treat! Try stuffing the blossoms with goat cheese before frying them!

Ingredients
  • 12 zucchini blossoms
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
  1. 1. Gently dip zucchini blossoms in beaten egg and shake off the excess. Press into flour; coat with bread crumbs. Place breaded blossoms on a plate; do not stack.
  2. 2. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry blossoms, working in batches, until both sides are golden brown, about 5 minutes each side. Season with salt and black pepper.
