Sweet corn kernels, tangy feta, and fresh herbs come together in these golden, crisp-edged patties. Creamy in the middle and ready in about 20 minutes, they work for breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner — much like our Crispy Vegetable Fritters, they are proof that simple ingredients can steal the show.
Ingredients
- 60 g (1/4 cup) corn kernels
- 1 egg
- 35 g (1 oz) feta cheese
- 10 g soft cottage cheese (5%)
- 30 g (1/4 cup) flour
- Fresh herbs, to taste
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Beat the egg in a bowl.
- Add the crumbled feta, cottage cheese, corn, and chopped herbs; mix until uniform.
- Stir in the flour and mix into a smooth batter.
- Fry spoonfuls in a hot skillet until golden on both sides.
- Serve with sour cream.
Tips
- Pat the corn kernels dry before mixing so the batter stays thick and the patties crisp up.
- Keep the heat at medium — too hot and the feta browns before the centers cook through.
- For a heartier plate, serve these next to our Juicy Chicken-Zucchini Patties, and find more fritter inspiration at Serious Eats.
