Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 can Canned Corn Feel free to use fresh or frozen, just keep in mind they need cooking.
  • 1 cup Cheese (Mozzarella or Cheddar) Adds creaminess; try any melting cheese for varied flavors.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Swap with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs Gluten-free breadcrumbs are a great substitute.
  • 1 large Egg For a vegan alternative, use a flax egg.
For Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Adjust to your taste or omit for a milder flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Use sea salt for a gourmet touch.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Pepper Fresh cracked pepper works wonders here.
For Cooking
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil or Canola Oil Essential for frying to achieve crispiness; if baking, opt for an oven-safe spray.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking Sheet
  • deep pan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by draining the canned corn if you’ve chosen that option; fresh corn will need to be cooked briefly in boiling water for about 3-5 minutes until tender.
  2. In a medium bowl, crack the egg and whisk it together with any wet seasonings you desire, creating a cohesive mixture.
  3. In a separate large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  4. Now, gently fold the prepared corn into the cheese mixture.
  5. With your mixture ready, take small portions and shape them into bite-sized balls, about 1-2 inches in diameter.
  6. If you decide to bake your Crispy Corn Cheese Bites, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  7. For frying, gently place the bites into the hot oil, cooking them for about 3-4 minutes.
  8. Once cooked, remove your Crispy Corn Cheese Bites from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
