👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix the Batter:
In a large bowl, combine corn, flour, egg, milk, baking powder, salt, pepper, cayenne, green onions, and cheddar. Stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix. Batter should be thick but spoonable.
2. Heat Oil & Fry Fritters:
Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, drop 1/4-cup scoops of batter into the pan and flatten slightly. Fry 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Transfer to paper towel–lined plate. 🥞✨
3. Cook the Eggs:
In a nonstick skillet, fry eggs to your liking—sunny-side up or over-easy for that runny yolk magic. 🍳
4. Optional Protein Prep:
If using beef bacon or chicken sausage, cook according to package directions or crisp in a skillet.
5. Assemble the Stack:
Start with one fritter, top with an egg, protein (if using), avocado slices, arugula, and a drizzle of sauce. Finish with another fritter on top.
6. Serve Warm:
Cut in half for that satisfying yolk run, and enjoy immediately while warm! 🧡
💡 Pro Tips
- Make-Ahead: Fry fritters ahead of time and reheat in the oven at 375°F for 8–10 minutes.
- Low-Carb Option: Swap fritter top for a lettuce wrap or eat open-faced.
- Freezer-Friendly: Freeze cooked fritters in a single layer, then store in a bag. Reheat from frozen in the toaster oven.
- Serving Twist: Add a slice of sharp white cheddar or a spoon of herbed Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
