Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1 ripe avocado, mashed
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornmeal
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp chili powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Oil for frying
• 4 poached eggs

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the mashed avocado, sweet corn, and green onions.
2. Add the eggs, flour, cornmeal, baking powder, chili powder, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each fritter and flatten slightly in the skillet.
4. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5. In a separate pot, poach the eggs in simmering water for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
6. Serve the fritters hot, topped with a poached egg and additional cilantro if desired.

Notes

Storage: These fritters are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet to restore crispiness.

For the best results, ensure your frying oil is hot enough before adding the fritters to achieve a golden, crispy exterior. You can also experiment with different herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, to find your favorite flavor combination.

If you want to make the fritters ahead of time, you can prepare the batter and refrigerate it for up to 2 hours before cooking. Serve the fritters with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick!
