If you don’t know what an air fryer is, it is basically a small convection oven. It “air fries” food by the hot air rapidly circulating over the food. These are very common in foreign countries. In Japan many people have them. I have been using mine for about a year now, and I love it. You can basically use it to bake, or even air-fry in small quantities.

They can keep you from heating up the house too much during the summer, and they are very energy efficient. Air Fryers are super easy to use. Keep in mind you can use them in more ways can just reheating your favorite treats from the freezer.

Roasted vegetables are a perfect food to cook in the air fryer. I have a basic technique to roast vegetables in the air fryer, I wash them, peel if necessary, and then I coat them in olive oil, and add salt and pepper. This seems to work very well.

When we lived in New Jersey, our dear friend and neighbor would make us Corn Souffle for Christmas Eve. I have been looking for her recipe for years and finally found it. It’s also called Sweet Corn Spoonbread in the south. Being from the west coast, I just know that it tastes amazing!

If you love cornbread, you are going to go bonkers over this Easy Sweet Corn Spoonbread! I made it for Christmas Eve supper and when I tasted it, I wanted it all to myself! Too bad my family smelled it and they all wanted to know what I was cooking. It was gone in a matter of minutes! I heard a lot of “mmmmmmm so delicious Mom”! It’s super easy to make and it is now my favorite side dish. Although I could eat it just as my main meal! It’s like a corn souffle but so much better!

Stuffed Squash Blossoms

July 16, 2014 by Nettie 16 Comments

I love everything about summer, especially seeing what is growing my vegetable garden. My kale, basil, and tomatoes are explosive. We have had huge thunder showers, so I haven’t had to water much lately. My zucchini and squash blossoms are just coming out.

When my neighbor told me that he has lots of butternut squash blossoms and zucchini blossoms and would I like some, I couldn’t get my sandals on fast enough!

I decided to stuff them with Mozzarella, Parmesan Reggiano and Basil. You can actually stuff blossoms with any kind of cheese that you like, ricotta, goat, gruyere, or with meat or rice. I have had them many ways, all so delicious.

For 7 Blossoms, I grated about 1 cup of Mozzarella Cheese and added about a 1/4 cup of Parmesan Reggiano Cheese, I ripped up freshly picked basil leaves and stuffed the blossoms.

Twist the ends closed and try to pinch the blossoms closed so that the cheese doesn’t fall out.

Dip stuffed blossoms in flour, then in egg, then again in flour

Fill skillet pan with about an inch of vegetable oil, carefully place stuffed blossoms in pan on medium high heat, saute until golden brown.

These are a delicious summer treat, a perfect appetizer with a cold glass of Chardonnay!

Stuffed Squash Blossoms

Ingredients:

12 squash blossoms, stamen removed
8 oz mozzarella, grated
1/4 cup Parmesan Reggiano, grated
3 large basil leaves
1 cup flour
2 eggs
Vegetable oil
1 tablespoons sea salt plus more for garnishing
1/2 tablespoon pepper

Preparation:
Wash squash blossoms. Take the stamen out from inside the blossom. Pat dry. In a small bowl, combine Mozzarella , Parmesan, and basil. Carefully fill the blossoms with the cheese mixture. Twist the top of the blossoms to close off, repeat with remaining blossoms.

Place the flour in a shallow bowl and add the pepper and salt, mix. Beat the eggs in a bowl and place next to the flour. Cover the squash blossoms in flour mixture, then in the egg wash and back in the flour, until very well coated. Repeat with remaining blossoms.

Pour oil into a rimmed frying pan, filling about 2-3 inches. Heat until hot but not smoking, about 350-380 degrees. Carefully fry blossoms in batches, until a nice golden brown color. Serve warm.
