What is Zucchini flower cooked with egg?
Zucchini flower cooked with egg is a simple seasonal dish made by cooking tender squash blossoms with egg, often in a pan. It is associated with the Aegean and Mediterranean cooking of Turkey, where the short-lived flowers are valued as a spring and summer ingredient. Recipes vary from home to home, but the blossoms’ delicate texture is kept at the centre of the dish.
Serve it warm as a light breakfast or meal, with bread and perhaps a fresh salad. The flowers become soft and mild, while the egg adds a richer, savoury note. At about 6.7 g of protein per 100 g, it offers a little more staying power than the blossoms alone. Use a light hand with oil if you want a less rich plate.
