Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 3 ounces herbed goat cheese
  • 12 zucchini blossoms rinsed, stamens removed
  • oil for frying
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup ice water
  • salt

Instructions

  • Gently place 1 teaspoon of goat cheese into the center of each blossom, being careful not to tear the petals.
  • Heat about 1 inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Until it reaches 350 degrees or until a bit of batter dropped into it begins frying.
  • While you are waiting for your oil to heat up, make your batter by whisking together flour and ice water until a smooth and thin batter forms.
  • Once your oil is hot, carefully dredge the stuffed zucchini blossoms in the batter. Allow any excess to drip off and then fry until golden brown 1 - 2 minutes on each side. You may need to do this in batches so you don't over crowd the pan.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel lined plate, sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.

Enjoy!
