Gluten Free Zucchini Flowers (Stuffed with Gorgonzola and Parmesan)

JUMP TO RECIPE

Gluten Free Zucchini Flower are one of my all time favourites! I missed these so much when I discovered I was gluten free. I had to work out a way of creating this dish without the gluten free crumbs falling off and being gluggy!

This is a gorgeous entree for a dinner party, a nibble with a glass of champagne or to serve along side an Italian buffet for your family. You could also make these mid week and serve with a salad.

Why I Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because its Gluten Free Stuffed Zucchini Flowers ar a great way to introduce NEW vegetables and everyone loves cheesey fillings!

Ingredients

ZUCCHINI FLOWERS: Your fruit and veg shop will have these available near the zucchinis. Usually in a packet. They will look flat and impossible to fill, but I promise you, this will all come together.
GORGONZOLA: The creamy blue cheese. One small block will fill about 6-8 zucchini flowers
PARMESAN: Freshly grated is best! 4 tablespoons.
GLUTEN FREE CRUMB: uYou can buy gluten free crumbs from your supermarket or you can make your own by blitzing gluten free breadcrumbs in your food processor
FREE RANGE EGG: Just one to beat and place in a bowl
TO SERVE: Fresh Green Salad!

Instructions

Let’s get cooking! We are going to use an airfryer for this recipe! Its easy, quick, no mess and no need to excessive oil
In bowl, add your gorgonzola, parmesean and sprinkle salt/pepper
Gently stuff each flower. Dont panic if you accidently tear part of the flower as it will stick together with the crumb.
Create a system. A bowl of beaten egg. A plate with the crumbs.
Dip the zucchini flower into the egg. Then swirl around in the breadcrumbs until completely coated. Place in the airfryer. Set the timer for 12 mins on 180c. Once crispy and cooked, remove gently on top a plate to enjoy! Be careful to not eat them too quickly as the cheesey middle will be HOT!

Tips and Tricks
