Cheesy Corn Fritters

Submitted by FrVanilla

"Leftover corn on the cob gets a starring role in these kid-pleasing, main-course dinner patties. Serve on whole wheat buns loaded with tomato slices and lettuce, or place on a bed of lightly dressed mixed greens and drizzle with salsa. From Today's Parent."

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 ears corn, cooked (or 1 cup/250 mL frozen corn kernels, thawed and drained)
• 1⁄4 cup fine cornmeal
• 1⁄4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch baking soda
• 3⁄4 cup cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 egg
• 1⁄4 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

directions

1. Carefully slice corn kernels from leftover cobs and set aside. Then, in a medium bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, salt and baking soda. Add cheddar cheese and stir, then mix in corn niblets and green onion. In a separate small bowl, combine egg and milk, and whisk until frothy. Add to corn mixture and combine well.
2. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. To form patties, scoop batter 1/3 cup (75 mL) at a time and place in hot pan (a dry measure or ice cream scoop works well). Flatten patties slightly with the back of a large spoon; each should be about the size of a hamburger. Fry 5 to 6 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time, until patties are golden brown on both sides.

I enjoyed these tasty fritters with a mustard honey sauce. Thanks! Made for Veg. Swap Sept. 2013.

These were yummy but we felt that they needed a little more something? My DD thought they could have stood some saute onions and jalapenos with a dollop of sour cream as a garnish. I liked the crunch. Made for Veg*n Swap 28.

This was great! I added a little bit of diced fresh jalapeno and cooked them in small bite-sized pieces as an appetizer.

So good and so easy! I started the recipe before realizing I didn't have green onions, so I subbed regular onions. Then to add a little color I added a small jar of pimentos. It was really easy to drop them in the pan, flip once and keep them warm in the oven. I served them with salsa, but I think next time I'm going to make a creamy dill sauce. Great recipe to whip up in a hurry and looked like you fussed! Made for Veg*n Swap 14.
