8 squash blossoms, rinsed well
1 large ball fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced into thin strips
1 egg
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
oil for frying

1
Fill a large frying pan up to about 1/2 inch with oil.
2
Heat the oil over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, stuff the blossoms with the strips of mozzarella.
3
Make an egg wash by beating the egg and water together.
4
Mix together the flour, salt, paprika, black pepper and red pepper in a shallow dish.
5
When the oil is hot enough for frying, dip each blossom first in the egg wash, then in the flour mixture, and gently place it in the oil. Avoid crowding the blossoms - if the pan isn't large enough, do this is two batches of four.
6
Cook each blossom approximately two minutes on each side, then let rest on a paper towel.

Eat the entire thing while it's hot!
