Fried squash blossoms



Ingredients:
Montery Jack Cheese or Ricotta Cheese
Bread Crumbs
Egg
Olive Oil
Salt
Pick blossoms early in the morning while in full bloom as shown above and without the bee! Now remove the "pistal" in the center of the blossom. It's that center part the bee is flying over. Place the blossoms (open end) face down on the counter to keep the blossoms open while you prepare the ingredients. Beat an egg and set aside.
























Stuff the blossoms with, montery jack or ricotta chesse
Dip blossoms in egg batter, coat with bread crumbs and gently saute in olive oil on each side until lightly browned. Serve warm.
I guarantee you won't have any left over. In fact, you'll have to be careful not to go overboard every summer morning and pick all the blossoms.... least you won't have any to pollinate the rest of the squash.
