Ingredients
  

1 cup sweet corn kernels (can use fresh or frozen)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornmeal

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)

1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy alternatives)

1 large egg

2 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (optional for garnish)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite cheese)

4 slices of bread (choose sourdough, whole grain, or any preferred variety)

2 tbsp butter or olive oil (for frying)

Optional toppings: avocado slices, sliced tomatoes, or a dash of hot sauce

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fritter Mix: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using). Stir the mixture well to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.

    Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg until smooth. Gradually pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. For an herbaceous touch, fold in the chopped cilantro or parsley, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

      Cook the Fritters: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, adding 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil. Once heated, drop spoonfuls of the corn batter onto the skillet, flattening each slightly with the back of a spoon to form fritters. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

        Assemble the Sandwich Melts: On one slice of bread, place a warm corn fritter. Generously sprinkle shredded cheese over the fritter before covering with another slice of bread. Repeat the process for the remaining fritters and bread slices.

          Grill the Sandwiches: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter or olive oil. Grill each assembled sandwich over medium heat, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure an even grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted deliciously.

            Serve: Carefully remove the sandwiches from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly. Slice each sandwich in half for easier handling and serve them warm. Garnish with avocado slices, sliced tomatoes, or a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick, based on your personal preference.
