Courgette Flowers

The perfect summer dish ☀️

These shallow fried stuffed courgette flowers were a dream and so easy to make!! I found this recipe from cozy kitchen and had to try it!

The filling I made to accompany them was divine made from Ricotta, Mozzarella, Lemon Zest and Basil giving it a really light and fragrant taste.
