~Pretties~

And in the garden..~ In the Kitchen~ I love my daughter's little Zinnias..I picked one on our way home the other night:) I love my friend's potager.. And her zucchini blossoms.. I read up on them and you should only harvest males~ She told me to go ahead. I love my friends forward of a cute little blossom topped quiche..But made my own..It's the look and idea I loved..That little topper:) I was worried I could create an ugly duckling in 1/2 hr.. but a swan emerged:) A treat to make and eat~ So in a less than 30 minute meal:) Well part of meal.. I softened 1/2 a shallot in 1 tbsp melted butter on low heat.. I beat 2 eggs w/ a whisk..added 1/4 cup half and half..1/8 cup pecorino ..1/4 cup mozzarella,the softened shallot..some finely chopped Jacques basil,, some finely chopped Nancy Zucchini Blossoms..Herbes de Provence,S and P. I prepared 5 layer Phyllo dough in 4 muffin tins.. and added the mixture.. I baked at 375 for 10 minutes..and then 11 minutes at 350. Once out..make a small hole and fit the blossoms on top:) C'est tout! Will make again~
