Instructions
-
Start heating about 1/2 inch of oil in a wide, deep pan to 375 F.
-
Optionally, stuff each zucchini blossom with approximately 1 teaspoon of cheese, gently tucking it between the petals.
-
In a small bowl, beat an egg, then whisk in flour and salt, followed by enough club soda to create a very thin batter.
-
Dip each zucchini blossom into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off before carefully placing it into the hot oil.
-
Cook blossoms, undisturbed, until golden on one side (about 3 minutes), then flip and cook until golden on the other side (about 2 minutes), frying in batches as needed.
-
Remove cooked blossoms with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, sprinkle with salt, and serve immediately.
