WELL..I think I’ve found a whole new way to enjoy fried cheese..if there IS a way to improve fried cheese at all?? …I think this just might be it! 🙂
And if this isn’t it, it’s pretty darn close..and at the very least, adds variety!
If you can imagine a slab of warm and nutty cornbread, studded with a sweet pop of whole kernel corn, and stuffed with gobs of melty, gooey cheese..then you’re close to understanding the greatness that are these fritters!
I threw it all together, watched the cornbread/cheesy magic come to life…
~And here we are! 🙂
What you’ll need:
1-15 oz. box of Corn Bread Mix
1-15 oz. Whole Kernel Corn..drained
2 cups Shredded Mozzarella
Oil for frying..I used Canola
Directions:
In a large bowl combine the corn bread mix according to the box instructions. Stir in the corn and the cheese…
Gently combine until it’s a batter-like consistency…
Drop approx. 2 tbsp. of the batter into the hot (350 degree) oil.
Fry them up one at a time, until they’re golden on both sides and cooked through…
Let them cool four a couple of minutes..if you can! ~if not.. just GO FOR IT! 🙂
And then…EAT THEM! ~Enjoy! 🙂
These remind me of a twist on the wonderful Mozzarepa of festivals and fairs. We used to get them at NYC street festivals.

I’m going to have to try these. Do you think they’d be good baked, instead of deep fried?
Yummy!
These are awesome..made them tonight. Even my husband was pleased.
YAY! 🙂
Cab you make them with homemade corn meal batter?
