Preparation

Step 1

PREPARATION:


In a food processor, pulse the corn into a chunky puree. Place in a medium bowl. Add the cheese to the corn and mix. Add a 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, chives, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined.

Form the mixture into 9 balls and then flatten into patties, each about 2 1/2 inches in diameter and 3/4-inch thick. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Coat the patties in the remaining 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and drizzle with olive oil. Place a grill pan over medium heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Brush the patties with olive oil and grill until toasted, 4 minutes on each side. Arrange the corn cakes on a platter and top with a dollop of sour cream and small chive pieces.
