Description

These are very easy to make. I use the male blossoms from our zucchini plant—the males are the ones that don’t bear squash and will just fall off the stem.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Oil, For Frying
  • 6 whole Zucchini Blossoms
  • 6 cubes Mozzarella Cheese (half-inch Cubes)
  • ½ cups Dry Breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 whole Egg, Beaten

Preparation

1. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet until hot. It should be at a depth of about half an inch. Use more or less oil as needed.

2. Wash and dry the blossoms. Place one cube of mozzarella into the base of each blossom, then twist the petals of the flower closed.

3. Mix the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese.

4. Dip each blossom into the beaten egg, letting the excess run off.

5. Roll each blossom in the breadcrumb mixture until thoroughly coated.

6. Fry in the hot oil until brown and crispy, turning once.

These are excellent served with marinara sauce!

The females are the ones that actually grow the zucchini, and will stay attached to them. The males are the ones that fall off the stem without producing zucchini. Of course, you can use females in this recipe too, but by the time I harvest my zucchini those blossoms are usually dried up.

How can you tell the male blossoms from the female ones?

I have only had stuffed squash blossoms once in my life years ago (I think it was with pumpkin blossoms) and it’s been in the back of my mind to try to make them myself someday. I was so excited to see your recipe! I hope to give it a try this summer!
