Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh corn kernels (or frozen, thawed)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornmeal

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 large egg, beaten

1/4 cup milk

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (or parsley)

4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough or whole wheat work well)

4 slices of cheese (cheddar or mozzarella recommended)

Avocado slices for topping

Olive oil for frying

Instructions
 

Make the Corn Fritters: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine fresh corn kernels, flour, cornmeal, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and milk. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Add the chopped cilantro and mix briefly until incorporated.

      Fry the Fritters: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Once the skillet is hot, scoop spoonfuls of the corn batter into the pan to form small fritters (about 2-3 inches in diameter). Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

        Assemble the Sandwich Melts: In the same skillet (drained of excess oil), place a slice of bread on the hot surface. Layer with a slice of cheese, two or three corn fritters, more cheese on top, and finish with another slice of bread.

          Grill the Sandwich: Cook each sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on one side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has begun to melt. Carefully flip and grill the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes. Repeat with remaining ingredients, adding more oil if needed to prevent sticking.

            Serve: Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Slice in half, top with fresh avocado slices, and serve warm with a side of salsa or a fresh salad. Enjoy your delightful Sweet Corn Fritter Sandwich Melts!
