Can you eat the whole zucchini blossom in eggs with zucchini blossoms?

Should you use male or female flowers for eggs with zucchini blossoms?

Do you need to wash zucchini blossoms before making eggs with zucchini blossoms?

Can you make eggs with zucchini blossoms with frozen flowers?
Yes, frozen blossoms can be used for eggs with zucchini blossoms, but they soften more than fresh ones after thawing. Drain them well and cook off excess moisture in the pan before adding the eggs.
What cheese goes well in eggs with zucchini blossoms?

What can you serve with eggs with zucchini blossoms?

Can eggs with zucchini blossoms be made as an omelet?
Yes, eggs with zucchini blossoms can be cooked as an omelet. Soften the blossoms first, pour in the beaten eggs, and fold once the base is set; this keeps the flowers evenly distributed rather than clumped.
How should you store leftover eggs with zucchini blossoms?
Refrigerate leftover eggs with zucchini blossoms promptly in a covered container. Reheat them gently in a pan until hot, rather than cooking them for a long time, which can make both the eggs and blossoms rubbery.
Do eggs with zucchini blossoms taste different from a regular omelet?
