Cheese Corn Balls

[Dawn]

A healthy and yummy snack!

Ingredients​

• 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plus extra for coating)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 large egg
• Oil for frying

Instructions​

1. Prepare the Mixture:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the corn, shredded cheese, breadcrumbs, flour, green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Add Egg:
   • Beat the egg in a separate bowl, then add it to the corn mixture. Mix until everything is well combined.
3. Form the Balls:
   • Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls (about 1 inch in diameter). If the mixture is too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs or flour.
4. Coat the Balls:
   • Roll each ball in additional breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
5. Heat the Oil:
   • In a deep pan or skillet, heat oil over medium heat. You’ll need enough oil to submerge the balls partially.
6. Fry the Balls:
   • Once the oil is hot, carefully add the cheese corn balls in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy (about 3-4 minutes per batch). Use a slotted spoon to turn them for even cooking.
   • Remove the balls and drain them on paper towels.
7. Serve:
   • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, like marinara, ranch, or spicy mayo.

I think cheese corn balls are the perfect snack! The crispy outside with the cheesy, corn-filled center is so satisfying though.
