Step-by-step instructions
Here’s how to prepare your Cheesy Corn Fritters with Green Onions:
- In a large bowl, combine the corn, cheese, flour, baking powder, eggs, and green onions. Mix until you see everything is just blended.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.
- Using a spoon, drop dollops of the batter onto the skillet. Let them cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they’re beautifully golden brown.
- When cooked, remove the fritters from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels.
- Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy goodness!
Best ways to enjoy it
These cheesy corn fritters are incredibly versatile when it comes to serving. They make a splendid accompaniment to a fresh garden salad or can be enjoyed as a standalone snack. Consider serving them with a zesty dipping sauce such as a garlic aioli or a tangy salsa to elevate their flavor even further. For an extra kick, sprinkle some fresh herbs over them before serving.
Keeping leftovers fresh
If you find yourself with leftovers (although it’s hard not to polish them off in one go), let the fritters cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the fridge. They should be consumed within 2-3 days for the best quality. To reheat, a brief stint in the skillet or oven will bring back their crispy texture. You can also freeze them for up to a month—just ensure they are stored in a freezer-safe container.
Helpful cooking tips
Here are a few tips to ensure your fritters turn out perfectly setiap time:
- Ensure your skillet is hot enough before adding the batter so that the fritters will get that lovely crisp.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches to allow room for flipping without issues.
- Experiment with your favorite cheese or add spices like paprika or cayenne for an extra flavor kick.
Creative twists
These fritters are a blank canvas just waiting for your creativity! You can integrate diced jalapeños for heat, add diced bell peppers for a colorful twist, or throw in some spices for an international flair. If you’re feeling adventurous, swap half the corn for finely shredded zucchini to sneak in some additional veggies!
