Fried Zucchini Flowers
Description
A delicious appetizer for any gathering. If you grow zucchini, don't throw away the flowers right away. For example, in Mexico they often make batter-fried snacks from them. To prepare fried zucchini blossoms, you will need soft cheese (mozzarella or Emmental), white wine, egg white and yolk separately, and fresh zucchini blossoms. See the recipe. Can be served warm or chilled.

For the batter, mix the flour with salt, egg yolk, wine, and olive oil. Add warm water until you have a smooth batter with the consistency of thick sour cream. Set the batter aside for now — make the filling. Cut the cheese into thin strips and stuff the blossoms. In a separate bowl, beat the egg white, fold it into the batter, and mix with circular motions.
