Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup minced onion
  • 1/2 cup squash blossoms, chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated cheese

  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil.

  6. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  7. In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  8. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
