Recipe type/ Τύπος Πιάτου: Appetizer
Cuisine/ Κουζίνα: Greek
- 100 gr. / 4 oz. la vache qui rit cheese or 6 triangles or cream cheese
- 200 gr. / 7 oz. yellow cheese of any type, grated (you can use Monterey Jack)
- 60 gr. / 2 oz. feta cheese, finely crumbled
- 5 tbsp milk
- 2 tsp dried mint
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of paprika
- 16 tbsp all purpose flour
- 22 tbsp water
- 1 tsp of salt
- About 25 to 30 blossoms
- Olive oil to fry them
- In a bowl mix all the cheeses, milk, mint, paprika and salt.
- Remove the stamens of the flowers and stuff them with 1 tsp of the cheese batter.
- Close them carefully.
- In another bowl, mix the flour with the water and salt until one batter as thick as the one of the crepes is formed.
- Bathe the stuffed flowers in it and place them in a rack to drain a bit until oil becomes ready to fry them.
- Fry them in batches.
- It took me about one to one and a half minute per batch but this depends on the fire.
- You will understand they are done when they take a nice golden color outside.
- After the second batch I lowered the heat from 8 to 7 because the oil started becoming too hot.
- Remove, let cool a bit and serve with tzatziki or plain yogurt on mayonnaise.
