- 16 squash blossoms
- 1/4 cup(s) cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup(s) feta cheese
- 2 eggs

- 1 tablespoon(s) olive oil, plus some for frying
- 1 1/2 cup(s) whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 dash(es) Sea salt
- 1 dash(es) Freshly ground black pepper
Make the batter by thoroughly mixing the pastry flour, 1 cup water, 1 egg, a dash of salt, and 1 tbsp olive oil.
Wash flowers very gently, taking care not to break them.
Remove some liquid from the cheese by gently squeezing in a cheesecloth.
Mix 1 beaten egg, cheese, scallions, parsley, and a few dashes each of salt and pepper.
Put a spoonful of cheese mixture in each flower, dip in the batter and fry in hot oil until golden.
Serve hot or cold.
The blossoms don't last long, so buy them the day you plan to make them.
Look for fresh flowers that don't look soggy or withered.
