Bread, Cornmeal and green onion fritters

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese
  • 1 (15.25-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1/4 cup minced green onion
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 egg whites, beaten stiff
  • 2 cups yellow cornmeal, divided
  • Peanut Oil for frying
  • Remoulade sauce (recipe under sauces)

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine cheese, corn, green onion, flour, and salt. Stir in egg whites and 1 cup cornmeal. Roll into 24 (1 1/2 inch)
fritters. Spoon remaining cornmeal into a shallow dish. Gently roll fritters in cornmeal to coat.

In a Dutch oven, pour oil to a depth of 4 inches. Heat oil over medium heat to 350 degrees. Fry fritters in batches, 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with Remoulade Sauce.
