Submitted by: admin on April 10, 2020

3 servings

Ingredients

8 zucchini blossoms, divided
8 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained and cut into very small cubes
2 ounces herbed feta cheese, or more to taste
4 green cocktail olives, minced
1 tablespoon bottled minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
1 pinch seasoned salt, or to taste
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup egg substitute (such as Egg Beaters®)
2 cups bread crumbs
cooking spray

Instructions

Chop 2 zucchini blossoms finely. Transfer to a bowl.

Stir tofu, feta cheese, olives, garlic, thyme, oregano, and seasoned salt into the bowl. Pour filling into a food processor; pulse until very crumbly. Increase speed blend until smooth and golden, about 3 minutes.

Pipe filling into remaining 6 blossoms using a pastry bag or a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off. Twist blossom ends carefully to seal in filling. Arrange on a plate; transfer to the freezer.

Mix whole wheat flour and egg substitute together in a bowl until batter is the consistency of pudding.

Spread bread crumbs in a shallow dish.

Dip a stuffed blossom in batter and roll in bread crumbs. Repeat with remaining blossoms.

Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Cook blossoms until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes.
