Ingredients

  • 12 pcs squash blossoms
  • 3 pcs eggs to be used separately
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • cup finely chopped parsley
  • ¾ cup breadcrumbs
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Begin by heating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with one egg that has been lightly beaten. Add the chopped parsley to this mixture and season with salt to enhance the flavors.
  • Prepare for the coating process by whisking the remaining two eggs in a separate bowl. Place the breadcrumbs in another bowl.
  • Gently fill each squash blossom with the ricotta mixture, ensuring not to overstuff. Twist the ends of the blossoms to secure the filling inside.
  • Carefully dip each filled blossom first into the whisked eggs, ensuring it is well-coated, and then dredge in breadcrumbs for a crispy outer layer.
  • Arrange the breaded blossoms on a baking sheet lined with either parchment paper or tin foil.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the blossoms are golden brown and crispy.
  • Once done, remove the squash blossoms from the oven and let them cool slightly on a cooling rack before serving to allow the flavors to set.
