At 6:30 pm tonight, I had no idea what I was making for dinner. I only had 3 eggs, a tiny bit of milk, no tortillas, only 3 pieces of bread and we've had pasta the last 2 nights....so when I saw bags of frozen corn, I quickly ran upstairs and googled Corn Cakes. They were delicious and seriously about the only thing I could have made with what I had. I amazingly even had an avocado (not the norm for me!).
On a side note:
I officially HATE my point and shoot camera!! My SLR is in the van that my husband has and my little camera only takes a decent photo in really good lighting....but in low light--it STINKS!!
So here's the best shot I could get ; )... (they really were delicious!!)
Farmhouse Corn Cakes
about 3 cups frozen corn, mostly thawed
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 T melted butter
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup of your favorite cheese, grated (I used cheddar and pepper jack)
2 T chopped chives
1 tsp salt
fresh ground pepper
Pulse first 4 ingredients in a food processor 3-4 times until corn is coarsely chopped. (I just used my blender and briefly blended it until it was about half creamed)
Stir together flour, cornmeal, cheese, chives, and salt and pepper.
Add corn mixture and blend until moistened.
Cook in buttered skillet about 3 minutes each side, until browned and firm.
Serve with Salsa, sour cream, and diced avocado.
They were a quick and EASY thing to throw together for dinner with just me and the kids.
