What you need

How


To note that squash blossoms are very perishable and usually wonโ€™t make it more then 24 hours.

Wash the flowers and dry them very carefully, then remove the pistil.

Gently fill the blossoms with and anchovie and a longitudinal slice of mozzarella (if buffalo mozzarela, even better) and gently twist the petals together to seal.

Place the filled squash blossoms on an oven tray and sprinkle with salt& pepper and extravirgin olive oil.

Bake for 15 minutes at 160ยฐC until lightly browned.

Remove from the oven. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
