Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups corn kernels
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 3/4 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 3 eggs whites and yolks separated
- 1 scallion finely chopped
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Separate eggs, saving all three whites in a separate bowl. Keep one yolk for this recipe and save the other two yolks for another recipe.
- In a large bowl, combine corn, cornmeal, yogurt, 2 tablespoons of the oil, one egg yolk, scallion, salt, and pepper. Mix just until combined.1 1/4 cups corn kernels, 1/2 cup cornmeal, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 3 eggs, 1 scallion, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until they form soft peaks. Add one-third of egg whites to batter and fold gently to loosen batter. Add remaining whites in two additional batches, folding egg whites gently into corn mixture.
- Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of the oil. When hot, spoon four heaping tablespoons of batter into the skillet to make four fritters. Cook until golden brown on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip gently and allow to cook for about 2 more minutes.
- Transfer to serving dish and cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, adding oil a teaspoon at a time, as needed.
- Serve immediately alone or topped with guacamole or pico de gallo.

Notes
- Add oil as necessary with later batches of fritters to ensure you end up with the desired crust texture. Use a wide spatula to flip fritters more easily without breaking them. While fritters don't expand, be sure to leave enough space between them in your skillet to easily flip them.
