Zucchini Flowers Unconventional Frittata, because sometimes we don’t have time to prepare a fancy appetizer or a superb main course, and it doesn’t always turn out well. As an appetizer, I wanted to prepare zucchini flowers stuffed with mozzarella and anchovies, then I also thought of omelettes. Nothing, without mozzarella it is difficult to prepare stuffed flowers or omelettes. Here’s a beautiful frittata with the same ingredients cooked together in a pan with onion and anchovies. I’m sure it happens to you too, starting with one idea and ending up preparing something else, maybe even better.
