Cheesy Corn Fritters
These cheesy corn fritters are so quick and easy to make! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Sweet corn and savory cheese with the perfect combination of spices!
Cheesy corn fritters will be your new favorite snack, or side. They are so easy to make and take very little time!
Unlike your typical fritters, these guys aren’t completely deep fried. They are sautéed to brown in a little bit of olive oil, so they aren’t as bad for you! And chances are you already have more than half of the ingredients.
While these were cooking, they smelled amazing! I couldn’t wait to try one!
I served mine with some sour cream to dip, which was a great combination.

Cheesy Corn Fritters
Ingredients
- 2 cups corn (frozen, fresh or canned)
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 egg
- 1 green onion chopped
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- handful of fresh, chopped cilantro
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- salt + pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- sour cream for garnish
Instructions
- In a large enough bowl, mix together corn, cornmeal, flour, paprika, egg, parmesan cheese, green onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. If mixture seems too dry, add some water. You want the mixture to hold together.
- In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium high heat. Scoop batter out with spoon and create a patty (should make 4 fritters) Place fritters on pan and cook on each side for about 4 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
- Serve with a dollop, or side of sour cream. Enjoy!
