Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup mozzarella cheese, fresh
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan-Reggiano cheese
10 zucchini blossoms
7 tablespoons rice flour
2 eggs
¼ cup milk
¼ cup sparkling water
2 tablespoons sweet rice flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Mix mozzarella cheese and Parmesan-Reggiano cheese together in a bowl until smooth. Stuff 1 tablespoon cheese mixture into each zucchini blossom and pinch the ends closed.
