# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 1/2 cups corn kernels, canned or frozen, thawed and well drained
02 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
03 -
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
04 -
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
05 -
1 large egg
06 -
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
07 -
Vegetable oil, for deep frying
# Steps:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, add corn kernels, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, all-purpose flour, egg, and breadcrumbs. Use a spatula to mix thoroughly until all elements are evenly blended and the mixture starts to hold together.
02 -
Take approximately one tablespoon of the mixture at a time and gently shape into small, bite-sized balls using your hands. Place the formed balls onto a tray lined with parchment paper.
03 -
Pour enough vegetable oil into a deep pan or fryer to submerge the bites completely. Heat oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
04 -
Carefully add the corn cheese balls in batches to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Do not overcrowd the pan.
05 -
Remove fried bites with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with your preferred dipping sauce.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, ensure corn kernels are thoroughly drained to prevent excess moisture, which can affect the texture of the bites.
