Method
Filling Preparation
Prepare the Cheese Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the burrata cheese and ricotta cheese. Mix well until creamy and smooth.
Add Fresh Herbs
Chop the fresh basil leaves and fold them into the cheese mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Squash Blossom Preparation
Prepare the Squash Blossoms
Gently wash the squash blossoms under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Carefully open each blossom and remove the stamen from the inside.
Stuff the Blossoms
Using a small spoon or piping bag, carefully fill each squash blossom with the cheese mixture, taking care not to overfill.
Batter Preparation
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sparkling water, and salt until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Add Olive Oil
Stir in the olive oil to the batter for added flavor and texture.
Frying
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil for frying over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Blossoms
Dip each stuffed squash blossom into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off. Carefully place the blossoms in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain and Serve
Once fried, remove the blossoms from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and drizzled with balsamic glaze.
