Breakfast Sandwiches Recipe

Introduction

Start your day with a delicious twist on a classic breakfast sandwich. These corn fritter breakfast sandwiches combine crispy, savory fritters with eggs, bacon, and fresh toppings for a hearty morning meal that’s sure to satisfy.

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh sweet corn kernels (about 2 ears of corn)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
• Oil for frying (canola or vegetable)
• 4 large eggs
• 4 slices of crispy bacon or cooked sausage patties (optional)
• Sliced avocado and fresh arugula for topping
• Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels, flour, egg, milk, baking powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, green onions, and cheddar cheese. Stir until just combined; the batter should be thick yet able to drop from a spoon.
2. Step 2: Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, drop spoonfuls of the corn batter into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of a spoon. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining batter.
3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed, and fry the eggs to your preferred doneness—sunny side up or over easy works well for this sandwich.
4. Step 4: Assemble the sandwiches by placing one corn fritter on a plate as the base. Top with a fried egg, a slice of bacon or sausage if using, slices of avocado, and a handful of fresh arugula. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired. Finish with another corn fritter on top.
5. Step 5: Serve the sandwiches immediately while warm and enjoy a flavorful and satisfying breakfast.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crispiness, make sure the oil is hot before frying the fritters.
• Swap cheddar for pepper jack cheese to add a spicy kick.
• Use turkey bacon or vegetarian sausage for a lighter or meat-free option.
• Add chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley in the batter for more freshness.
• If you prefer a softer fritter, reduce frying time slightly.

Storage

Store any leftover corn fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a skillet or toaster oven to maintain crispness. Cooked eggs and bacon should be eaten fresh for best texture, but can be refrigerated and gently reheated if needed.

FAQs

Can I make the corn fritters ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the fritter batter and fry the fritters a few hours in advance. Keep them warm in a low oven or reheat them before assembling the sandwiches.

What can I use instead of fresh corn?

Frozen corn kernels work well as a substitute. Thaw and drain them before adding to the batter.

Corn Fritters

• 1 cup fresh sweet corn kernels (about 2 ears of corn)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
• Oil for frying (canola or vegetable)

Sandwich Fillings

• 4 large eggs
• 4 slices of crispy bacon or cooked sausage patties (optional)
• Sliced avocado (to taste)
• Fresh arugula (to taste)
• Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

1. Make the Fritter Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh sweet corn kernels, all-purpose flour, one large egg, milk, baking powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper if using, finely chopped green onions, and grated cheddar cheese. Stir gently until just combined, ensuring the batter is thick but still spoonable.
2. Fry the Fritters: Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is sufficiently hot, drop spoonfuls of the corn batter into the skillet and gently flatten each into a patty shape with the back of the spoon. Cook each fritter for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spatula to transfer the fritters onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Repeat with all batter portions.
3. Cook the Eggs: Using the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Fry the eggs to your preference—sunny side up or over easy are ideal for these sandwiches as they provide a nice runny yolk to complement the fritters.
4. Assemble the Sandwiches: On a serving plate, place one corn fritter as the base layer. Top this with a fried egg, then add a slice of bacon or a cooked sausage patty if desired. Add sliced avocado and a handful of fresh arugula on top. If you like extra heat, drizzle some hot sauce over the fillings, then cover the sandwich with another corn fritter to complete the stack.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the sandwiches immediately while warm to enjoy the contrasting textures and flavors at their best.

Notes

• For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon or sausage and consider adding a vegan protein or more veggies instead.
• You can prepare the corn fritters ahead of time and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness before assembling.
• If you prefer a milder flavor, omit cayenne pepper.
• Use gluten-free flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
• Adjust the oil temperature to medium-low if the fritters brown too quickly before cooking through.
