Ingredients
18 baby zucchini with blossoms attached
4 1/2 ounces feta cheese, cut into 18 pieces
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups fine dry bread crumbs
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Gently open each zucchini blossom and nip off the stamen. Place a piece of feta cheese inside each blossom and twist lightly to close.
Beat the eggs in a bowl. Spread the bread crumbs in a shallow bowl. Dip each zucchini in the beaten eggs, then dredge in the bread crumbs.
Set a large rack over a rimmed baking sheet. In each of 2 large skillets, heat 1/3 cup of the olive oil until shimmering. Carefully lay half of the zucchini in each skillet and fry over moderately high heat until crisp and golden, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to the rack to drain. Sprinkle with salt and serve with lemon wedges.
