Zucchini blossoms stuffed with feta cheese and yogurt. The most elegant appetizer of the summer is here and is waiting for you.

I could never imagine that I would sacrifice hours of my sleep in order to gather flowers. But my parents’ famous garden had something special for me: zucchini blossoms. And here is the most delicate stuffed zucchini blossoms recipe. If you are a fan of delicate flavors, then keep reading.

This time I had my eyes on the shy zucchini blossoms that are wide open only in the early hours. So it happened. I woke up in the morning, put on my mom’s yellow wellies, grabbed my wooden basket and went to my paradise.

So I gathered around 15 zucchini flowers, prepared my filling with cheese, yogurt and mint and lit the gas stove. Necessary accompaniment for the final dish a little strained yogurt with mint, salt and olive oil.

Recipe notes

  1. Zucchini blossoms are very sensitive so we are very careful while cleaning them. In most of the recipes I’ve seen, you remove the inside, meaning the stamens. If it is easy for you, remove it. However, if the zucchini flower is in danger of breaking, the world is not lost if it is not removed.
  2. Attention is also needed while frying them. You need to add them partially so as not to reduce the temperature of the hot oil.
  3. Finally, zucchini blossoms do not need much time in the pan. A total of two minutes is enough. So be prepared to get them out quickly.
