BLACK BEAN & WHITE CHEDDAR FRITTATA

Black Bean & White Cheddar Frittata image

This is one of my favorite comfort foods for breakfast or even a quick dinner. I like to make it with lime salsa. But if you're looking for something with more kick, use hot salsa or add some chipotle pepper. -Aysha Schurman, Ammon, Idaho

BLACK BEAN, CORN, AND CHEDDAR FRITTERS

Black Bean, Corn, and Cheddar Fritters image

Best served hot and crispy, right out of the pan, these fritters make a lovely light lunch served with a green salad, or a more hearty meal when served with Recipe #336469. They can also be a nice appetizer! Serve the fritters with sour cream and/or salsa on the side! I measured the oil after frying, so that the nutritional information would accurately reflect the oil used - you should start with 1/2 cup when frying, though!

Time 40m

Yield 15 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup unbleached white flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 dash cayenne
1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk
1 egg yolk (save the white!)
1 cup cooked black beans
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup corn kernel (fresh or frozen)
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
3/4 cup chopped red bell pepper (1 medium pepper)
2 tablespoons diced roasted green chili peppers (canned or fresh)
2 egg whites (that includes the one from the egg yolk earlier)
1/4 cup canola oil (start frying with 1/2 cup - 1/4 cup is what is absorbed)

Steps:

Sift together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne in a medium-sized bowl.
Beat the milk with the egg yolk, and add it to the dry ingredients, mixing well.
Stir in the beans, cheese, corn, cilantro, red pepper, and green chilies.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff. Gently fold them into the batter.
Heat 1/2 cup oil in a 10-inch iron skillet over medium-high heat. (Test the heat by dropping a bit of batter into the oil; it should immediately sizzle and rise to the top.).
Spoon in about 1/4 cup of batter for each fritter, making three or four at a time. Fry until golden brown on one side, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and fry until golden brown on the other side, and drain on paper towels. Fry the rest of the batter in batches.
Serve immediately with sour cream and salsa on the side.
