STUFFED ZUCCHINI BLOSSOMS
One of the great joys in life for me and my wife are stuffed zucchini blossoms. We were first introduced to these delicious little bites of heaven on our first visit to Rome and have enjoyed them ever since.

Steps:
- mix all the ingredients together and place in small pastry bag, or a ziplock bag with an end snipped off.
- open one end of the blossom gently and squeeze a small amount of cheese into the blossom. Due not overfill, you want enough to almost fill the blossom not to make it bulge.
- Refrigerate the blossoms for about 10-15 minutes while you get the egg mixture together.
- Lightly beat the eggs and add in milk, flour, cheese, and basil. Mix well. Egg Mixture should be about pancake mix thickness. If the mix is too thick the egg coating will be to thick and if its too thin it will run off.
- Heat a large sauté pan and then add about 1/4 inch of cooking oil to the pan.
- Dredge Zucchini Blossom in egg mixture, shed any excess egg and place into hot oil, continue the process till you fill the pan.
- Fry each side of the Blossom until golden brown, about two minutes on each side, the second side may cook faster, keep an eye on them.
- Place finished blossom on paper towels to drain off any excess oil.
- Place blossoms on serving tray and season with grated Romano cheese, sea salt and black pepper.

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.
SABINE'S STUFFED ZUCCHINI FLOWERS
We found zucchini flowers, just picked that morning, at the market in a little town called Céreste, and we snatched them up. You can use the same filling for stuffed tomatoes. The bread is soaked in milk, so if you have some stale bread lying around, this is a great use for it.

Steps:
- Toss the bread and milk together in a bowl and leave for 15 minutes or longer, until the bread has absorbed all the milk. Squeeze out excess milk and mash the bread with a whisk, fork or wooden spoon.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Oil a baking dish large enough to accommodate the flowers or tomatoes. If using zucchini flowers, very gently open them out and pull out the stamens. If using tomatoes, cut them in half along the equator, gently squeeze out the seeds, and scoop out the flesh. Set it aside for another purpose. Set the tomato shells upside down on a rack set over a sheet pan to drain.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until it is tender, 3 to 5 minutes, and add a generous pinch of salt, the garlic and the zucchini. Cook, stirring often, until the zucchini is tender and the mixture very fragrant, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Beat in the bread, onion and zucchini mixture, and the fresh herbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper. To fill zucchini blossoms, carefully pull apart the petals and fill the cavity inside, then let the petals close up around the stuffing. Lay the flowers on their side in the baking dish. Or spoon the filling into the hollowed-out tomatoes and place in the baking dish.
- Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of oil over the vegetables and place in the oven. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, until the top is lightly browned. Serve hot or warm.

STUFFED ZUCCHINI BLOSSOMS
For a beautiful summery treat, it's hard to top delicate zucchini flowers stuffed with a creamy filling and then lightly fried until crisp and golden. Try to find a good-quality whole-milk ricotta from an Italian deli or specialty food store. The upgrade is worth it here.

Steps:
- Prepare the zucchini blossoms for stuffing by gently opening the leaves and pinching out the stamen inside each flower. Set the blossoms aside.
- For the filling, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, basil, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Transfer to a sandwich-size resealable plastic bag and snip a small corner from one point at the bottom.
- Open the leaves of a blossom and pipe in about 1 tablespoon of filling (don't overfill). Gently twist the top of the blossom to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining zucchini blossoms and filling.
- Pour about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet and heat to 360 degrees F. (If you don't have an oil thermometer, you'll know the oil is ready if you drop in a scrap of bread and it sizzles on contact and begins to brown after a few seconds.) Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- For the batter, whisk the flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in the seltzer to make a smooth batter.
- When the oil is ready, dip the zucchini flowers in the batter one at a time, letting excess batter drip back into the bowl. Add as many as will fit in the skillet without crowding. Fry, turning once, until the batter is light, crisp and golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon to the lined baking sheet to drain and repeat with the remaining blossoms.
- Serve warm with marinara for dipping.
