ZUCCHINI OMELET

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small skillet.
• Add zucchini, onion, and tomato; saute 2-3 minutes or just until tender.
• Stir in salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
• Combine eggs, water, remaining salt, basil, celery salt, and remaining pepper; mix well.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch skillet until just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water; pour in egg mixture.
• As mixture starts to cook, gently lift edges of omelet, and tilt pan to allow the uncooked portion to flow underneath.
• When the mixture is set and no longer flows freely, sprinkle zucchini mixture on half of omelet and cheese on remaining half.
• Fold omelet in half, and place on a warm platter.

FRIED ZUCCHINI FLOWERS

Steps:

• In a large pot or deep frying pan heat about 2" to 3" oil over medium heat. There needs to be enough oil for the flowers to float on top, or they will stick to the bottom. Heat until oil is roughly 350°.
• In a med mixing bowl combine flour and salt. Make a hole in the middle of the flower and add in your egg white. Then whisk in your beer until mixture is almost smooth (some small lumps are ok-do not overwhisk or batter will deflate).
• One by one dredge the blossoms in the batter, shaking off the excess, and gently lay in the oil. Do not over crowd the pan. Cook, flipping once with a slotted spoon or tongs.
• When blooms are golden brown, 2-3 minutes total, remove and lay on a plate with a paper towel to soak up any extra oil.
• Serve and Enjoy! Best eaten when hot!
