For the Base

  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour Substitute with gluten-free flour if desired
For the Coating
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs Use gluten-free if needed
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil or Canola Oil Necessary for frying
For Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Spices (paprika, salt, pepper) Adjust to taste
  • Optional Vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, jalapeños) Finely chopped for even cooking

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Skillet
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by draining and thoroughly patting dry the canned corn to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained corn with your chosen melty cheese. Stir well until evenly blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, breadcrumbs, and spices. Make sure it's well mixed.
  4. Gently fold the wet corn and cheese mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients until combined.
  5. Shape the mixture into small balls or patties, about one inch in diameter.
  6. For frying, heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until 350°F (175°C). Fry the bites until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  7. Alternatively, bake the bites in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes.
  8. Once cooked, let them cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
