Ingredients

3 ears corn grilled, kernels removed (4 cups)

4 eggs

2 scallions, chopped

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 1/2 cups cornmeal

Salt and pepper to taste

4 egg whites

Canola oil

Directions

  1. Grill corn, turning frequently until marked lightly (about 6 to 8 minutes total). When corn is cool, cut kernels from the cob. In a food processor, combine eggs, 1/2 the corn, scallions, basil, rosemary, cilantro and red pepper flakes. Pour into a bowl and add the rest of the grilled corn kernels, cornmeal, salt and pepper. Fold in the egg whites. In a large non-stick frying pan heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil over medium heat. Spoon in corn batter for size of corn cake desired (1 tablespoon for an appetizer base or 1/4 cup for dinner size). Fry until golden brown (for about 2 minutes per side). Add more oil and continue.

I've only made this once, and the cakes were dry and flavorless. I would definitely add more of the fresh herbs and salt. I may have used some egg substitute and mixed it in with a couple regular eggs, but I also added buttermilk because the batter seemed dry. I definitely will try to play with the recipe some more, because it just sounds like it should be really delicious.
