Time 16m

Yield 8 blossoms

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sparkling water
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
1/3 cup (2 ounces) goat cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) cream cheese, at room temperature
2 teaspoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
1 green onion, finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
8 zucchini blossoms* see Cook's Note
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, water and salt until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, heavy cream, basil, and green onion. Mix until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons filling into each blossom. Close the blossoms and gently twist the petals to seal.
  • In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer a cube of bread will brown in about 1 minute.) Dip the stuffed zucchini blossoms in the batter and allow any excess batter to drip off. Fry for 1 to 2 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Allow the cooked blossoms to drain on paper towels.
  • Season with salt and serve with your favorite marinara sauce or vinaigrette.

These were a bit bland. I think I would have added some more herbs or spices.

These were okay. I think I would have liked them better if the cheese had been melted more.

I've never had fried cheese stuffed zucchini blossoms before, but these were amazing! The cheese was gooey and the blossoms were crispy. I will definitely be making these again.
