Squash Blossom Cheeseadilla

Ingredients for Squash Blossom Cheeseadilla

• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

• 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

• Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

• 110g Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated (about 1 cup)

• 12 squash blossoms, cleaned

• Basil leaves

• Maldon salt

• Greek yoghurt or Mexican crema (optional)

Combine the balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil, whisking to combine. Set aside; whisk again before serving.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. For each cheeseadilla, place 2 packed tablespoons of Parmesan in the pan and use the back of the spoon to spread the cheese into a 3-inch round. Cook until the cheese is melted, then press a squash blossom on top of each one and cook until the cheese is browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. Carefully pry the cheeseadillas off the skillet with a spatula and flip them, then cook for 30 seconds or so, to brown the blossoms lightly. Transfer to a serving plate and repeat to make more cheeseadillas.

Just before serving, drizzle the cheeseadillas with the balsamic dressing. Garnish with basil leaves and a couple of flakes of Maldon salt, and a few dollops of yoghurt, if using.
