12 thin bacon slices (6 oz)
12 2-to-3 inch baby yellow squash or zucchini
About 4 cups vegetable oil
1/3 c. Wondra flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 c. sesame seeds (5 oz)

Steps:

Wrap a bacon slide around each squash in a single layer, leaving 1/2 exposed at one end. Heat 1 inch oil to 375 degrees in a deep 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat. Put flour, eggs, and sesame in separate shallow bowls. Dredge each squash in flour, shaking off excess. Holding by exposed end, dip in egg, letting excess drip off, then coat with sesame seeds. Fry squash in batches, turning occasionally, until seeds are golden and bacon is crisp (~4 min). Transfer to paper towels to drain. Season with salt and pepper. Return oil to 375 between batches.
