Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 18 - squash blossoms each about 3 inches from base to tip
- 2 packages - 3 oz. cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 tablespoons - milk
- 1/2 cups - grated Parmesan cheese
- - dash of pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons - canned diced green chiles
- - all-purpose flour for dipping
- 2 - eggs
- 1 tablespoons - water
- - salad oil for frying
Directions:
Rinse blossoms with a gentle spray of cool water; shake off excess. Trim off stems completely. Remove stamens, if necessary, to enlarge cavity before stuffing. Set aside.
In a bowl, blend cream cheese with milk, Parmesan cheese, pepper and chiles. Spoon about 1 teaspoon filling into each blossom; twist tips to close. Roll blossoms in flour to coat lightly; set aside.
Beat eggs with water. Heat 1/4-inch oil in a wide frying pan over medium-high heat. With a fork, dip 1 blossom at a time into egg mixture and put in pan. Fry, turning as needed, until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels; keep warm until all are fried.
