OVEN ROASTED STUFFED SQUASH BLOSSOMS
Oven roasting the squash blossoms, instead of frying, makes this a nice light summer dish. Pick your squash blossoms early in the day, and store in the fridge until ready to use. Top with some fresh basil pesto for added yum!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium heat; add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in chard and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Add basil, salt, and pepper, and cook until basil is soft, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely, about 15 minutes. Place cooled chard mixture between 2 towels and press to remove excess moisture.
- Stir chevre and chard mixture together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Fill zucchini blossoms about 3/4 full with the goat chevre mixture, and pinch the ends closed. Place filled blossoms in a roasting pan; drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast in the preheated oven until blossoms are hot, about 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat. Heat about 4 inches of oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over direct heat until it reaches 350 degrees F.
- Combine the ricotta, parsley and lemon zest in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Place a tablespoon of the filling into each zucchini blossom, sealing them by bringing the petals up around the filling and giving them a little twist.
- Season the flour with salt and pepper, then dredge the blossoms first in the flour, then in the eggs and then again in the flour, being sure to shake off any excess flour.
- Working in batches if needed, carefully drop the blossoms into the oil. (Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.) Cook until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove the blossoms to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and season lightly with sea salt. Serve immediately.
- (Alternatively, you can fry the blossoms over medium-high heat on a stovetop.)
FRIED STUFFED SQUASH BLOSSOMS
If you have a garden and you planted zucchini, you will have an abundance of squash blossoms. These are just amazing, with that tangy goat cheese filling and that batter: so simple, light, and crisp.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Prepare a large bowl of ice-cold water. Drop squash blossoms into the boiling water until slightly wilted, 30 to 45 seconds; transfer immediately into the cold water to chill. Remove to paper towels to drain.
- Mix goat cheese, egg yolk, Gruyere cheese, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl; stir until smooth. Spoon filling into a heavy, resealable 1-quart plastic bag, squeeze out the air, and seal the bag. Cut a small corner off the bag.
- Gently insert the cut corner of the bag all the way to the bottom of the open end of a blossom and pipe about 1 tablespoon of filling inside. Pick up petals and drape them up over the filling, covering filling completely. Fold any excess petals over the top of the filled blossom to keep them out of the way. Refrigerate filled squash blossoms until cheese is set and firm, at least 30 minutes.
- Combine self-rising flour and cornstarch in a mixing bowl; whisk in ice-cold water, a little at a time, until batter is smooth and has the thickness of pancake batter.
- Pour vegetable oil to a depth of 1 inch into a heavy skillet (such as a cast iron pan) and place over medium heat. Heat oil until a thermometer placed into the oil, not touching the bottom, reads 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). A drop of batter carefully dripped into the oil should sizzle immediately.
- Remove squash blossoms from refrigerator and dust lightly with all-purpose flour on all sides. Shake off excess flour and dip blossoms in batter. Let excess batter drip off.
- Gently lay coated squash blossoms in the hot oil on their sides; cook about 6 at a time until pale golden brown, 1 minute on the first side and 30 seconds to 1 minute on the remaining sides. Let cool slightly before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch pie pan with nonstick spray.
- Place pie dough in the prepared pie pan. Poke a few holes in the bottom with a fork. Line with a double layer of aluminum foil and a layer of pie weights or dried beans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edge of crust is golden, about 15 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and weights; continue baking until the crust sets, about 5 minutes more.
- Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack; let cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
- While the crust is cooling, spray a skillet with nonstick spray and place over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate.
- Add bacon to the skillet and cook until browned and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Whisk together eggs and cream in a bowl; season with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle grated Gruyere cheese over the bottom of the cooled crust. Spread sautéed mushrooms, bacon, and scallions evenly over top. Pour egg mixture over top. Place squash blossoms in a decorative pattern on top of the egg mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are firm with no jiggling, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
