3 ounces herbed goat cheese
12 zucchini blossoms, rinsed, stamens removed
oil for frying
1 C. all purpose flour
1 C. ice water
salt

Gently place 1 tsp. of goat cheese into the center of each blossom, being careful not to tear the petals. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Until it reaches 350 degrees or until a bit of batter dropped into it begins frying. While you are waiting for your oil to heat up, make your batter by whisking together flour and ice water until a smooth and thin batter forms. Once your oil is hot, carefully dredge the stuffed zucchini blossoms in the batter. Allow any excess to drip off and then fry until golden brown 1 – 2 minutes on each side. You may need to do this in batches so you don’t over crowd the pan. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel lined plate, sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.
