Avocado and Cheddar Corn Cakes

[heart_this] · Sep 1, 2017 · 5 Comments

Avocado and Cheddar Corn Cakes

Corn cakes (or fritters) with coolant creamy chunks of avocado and melted cheddar cheese that are perfect with sweet or savoury toppings!

I certainly have been enjoying all of the fresh corn on the cob that is currently available and I could not help but think about using some corn in a breakfast dish like corn cakes! I was thinking about a little twist on regular corn with the addition of some of my favourite corn flavour combos including both avocados and cheddar cheese! Corn cakes are pretty simple, consisting of corn, an egg and enough flour that the mixture can be formed into patties which are then fried until lightly golden brown and crispy! These ones are of course have the addition of the cool and creamy avocado chunks and plenty on cheddar cheese along with some green onion, cilantro and lime! I could easily go with sweet or savoury toppings with these tasty avocado and cheddar corn cakes and this time I made a breakfast out of them with fried eggs, bacon, refried beans and fresh pico de gallo! Yum!

    Ok this is a stupid question…but is the corn cooked or raw before you mix it with the flour & egg?

      Not a stupid question at all. I happen to love raw sweet corn so I consider the cooking of the corn cakes to be all the cooking necessary for the corn. My question is what do you do with the lime zest? Being no armature in the kitchen I divided it between the corn cake mixture and the sour cream it didn’t call for along with some hot sauce in the sour cream and topped the cakes with it.

      You can make these in an air fryer! I do not use the rack in my air fryer, just placing them on the bottom surface in the fryer. Enjoy!
