Fresh from the garden, nothing beats home grown squash blossoms and fragrant basil! I kept things even more homegrown by using tomatoes from last year that I dried! High quality chevre is a must here too, bonus points if you have a local producer! Read more Stuffing these is a bit of a production but it is so worth it - and the purchase of a disposable piping bag! These are different from your usual stuffed blossoms in that they're roasted, not fried - nice and light for late Summer nights! See less
Ingredients
- boiling water shopping list
- 12 dry-packed sun-dried tomato halves, chopped into very small pieces shopping list
- 200g soft goat cheese (chevre), room temperature shopping list

How to make it

- Let stand 20 minutes, then drain and set aside.
- In a shallow, wide bowl, mix together goat cheese, basil, olive oil and soaked tomatoes with a fork until well blended.
- Scoop into a piping bag (disposable ones are cheap at craft stores, Ziploc baggies tend to burst at the seams) and place into the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425F, lightly spray a casserole or rectangular paking dish with PAM.
- Pipe the cheese filling into the blossoms, as tightly as possible, to the point where the petals flare and separate.

- Bake for 30 minutes. Cool 5 minutes covered, then serve immediately.
