These were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try frying them in less oil next time.

I'm allergic to garlic, so I had to leave that out. The squash blossoms were still delicious without it.

These were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some extra spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, so I used a different type of cheese. The results were still great!

These beer-battered squash blossoms were a hit at my last party! The goat cheese and garlic filling was creamy and flavorful, and the batter was crispy and golden brown.
