Easy Cheesy Corn Fritters!
Easy Cheesy Corn Fritters are a crispy, cheesy, and flavorful treat that can be made in under 30 minutes with simple ingredients. They are versatile, customizable, and perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of melted butter
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup of 2% or whole milk
- ½ cup of flour
- ¾ teaspoon of baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- ⅔ cup of grated cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 husked cob of sweet corn*
- 1 tablespoon of chopped chives
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and eggs. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in the grated Cheddar, Parmesan, sweet corn kernels, and chopped chives, mixing until evenly incorporated.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil or a small pat of butter.
- Once the oil is hot and fragrant, scoop ½ cup of batter into the pan for each fritter, ensuring they are spaced apart to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fully golden brown.
- Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve hot.
Notes
OPTIONAL: Add 1/2 cup cooked meat to the batter (crumbled bacon, diced sausage or ham are all great additions)
*3/4 cup canned or frozen (heated) corn can be substituted for fresh sweet corn. Just be sure to drain it very well.
