  • Ingreadient
    • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, fresh
    • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan-Reggiano cheese
    • 10 zucchini blossoms
    • 7 tablespoons rice flour
    • 2 eggs
    • ¼ cup milk
    • ¼ cup sparkling water
    • 2 tablespoons sweet rice flour
    • salt and ground black pepper to taste
    • 1 cup oil for frying

Direction

  1. Mix mozzarella cheese and Parmesan-Reggiano cheese together in a bowl until smooth. Stuff 1 tablespoon cheese mixture into each zucchini blossom and pinch the ends closed.
  2. Mix rice flour, eggs, milk, sparkling water, sweet rice flour, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Place stuffed blossoms in flour mixture; toss gently until covered.
  3. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Fry blossoms in oil until crisp and pale golden brown, about 2 minutes. Rest blossoms on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
