I was at the farmers market this past weekend and picked up some beautiful zucchini flowers. They are probably the last of the summer so I thought I should get some while I can. I love them stuffed with cheese, batter dipped and sauteed but that is a lot of work. I wanted something easier and quicker to make. So I decided on a zucchini blossom and goat cheese omelette. The flowers make the omelette look beautiful and the goat cheese made everything taste delicious. Even the manly husband didn't mind eating a few flowers!
I didn't make this omelette the traditional way. I actually flipped it over before I stuffed it with goat cheese so that you could see the beautiful blossoms on the outside of the omelette. This would be perfect for a summer brunch.
Zucchini Blossom and Goat Cheese Omelette
3 large eggs
2 TBS milk
salt and pepper to taste
6 zucchini flowers, stems and center removed

What a wonderfully original way to use the flowers. The omelet sounds delicious. I hope you are having a great day.
I printed dozens of recipes this year for using the blossoms. Then guess what? We never got around to planting them in the garden. Shame on us. Oh well, maybe next year.
Your omelette looks very good.

that sounds good. never tried them that way, always just deep fried them.
I kept trying to get the hubs to try squash blossoms but he has an aversion to eating flowers.
They look delicious Lisa. I've never had zucchini flowers but would love to try some.
that looks amazing!! i've been meaning to try zucchini blossoms, but haven't mustered the courage :)
What a great idea! I have only stuffed zucchini blossoms which is time consuming. Your omelette looks spectacular!
I have never ever seen the blossoms in my store. Sounds like I am missing out!
wow! i've never done anything other than fry zucchini blossoms. this looks lovely!!
Beautiful omelet. what a great idea.
Every time I visit my father in law, I pass his squash blossoms wondering if he has plans for them because I know I do.
Never have thought to do anything other than fry it though. Very original.
Only freaking thing I like about zucchini is the flowers. Heck I would grow it just for the flowers if it did not take up so much real estate.
I normally deep fry them stuffed with cheese but the omlette sounds good!
Oh yeah that would be impressive to serve at a brunch with the flowers showing through like that.
This is the prettiest omelet I've ever seen..a work of art...didn't know you could eat all the flowers we got this year!
I echo that this is the prettiest omelet, really. There's hope me, better get to the market and get some blossoms for some recipes I wanna try.
What an incredibly creative recipe. I love goat cheese, and though I've never had zucchini blossoms, they sure look delicious!
Gotta love those farmer's markets. I just read in USA Today that farmer's markets are up 71% from last year.
wow... looks so exotic and tasty! Thanks for sharing!
yum that sounds so good! My dad always made eggs with zuchinni blossoms - brings me back
