Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or canned, well-drained)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro, optional)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for gluten-free option)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup bread crumbs (or gluten-free bread crumbs)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Corn and Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, combine well-drained corn kernels, shredded cheese, finely chopped onions, and fresh herbs if using. Season with salt and pepper to balance the flavors.
  2. Add Binding Ingredients: Mix in the beaten eggs and flour to the corn mixture. This will help bind the patties and ensure they hold their shape during frying.
  3. Form the Patties: Shape the mixture into evenly sized patties that are compact but not too dense to allow even cooking and tenderness inside.
  4. Coat the Patties: Lightly dredge each patty in flour, dip in beaten egg again, then coat thoroughly with bread crumbs. This triple-layer coating gives a crispy golden crust when fried.
  5. Fry Until Golden: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry patties for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.

Notes

  • Use well-drained corn to prevent soggy patties.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying; cook in batches for even crispiness.
  • Chill the shaped patties in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to help them hold better during frying.
  • Choose oils with a high smoke point like vegetable, canola, or peanut oil to avoid burning.
  • Test fry one patty first to check seasoning and texture before cooking the rest.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour and breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives.
  • Baking at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes can be used as a healthier cooking method.
