Squash Blossom Frittata with Ricotta and Alliums

Summer Recipes

Aug 9

Summer in New York brings an abundance of delicious and seasonal produce. I was excited to experiment with squash blossoms for the first time this year. These yellow, edible flowers from baby zucchinis inspired me to create the Squash Blossom Frittata with Ricotta. Don’t miss out on this East Coast treat, they are only in season from late spring to early fall!
