Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Drain and thoroughly pat dry one can of corn to remove excess moisture. Set the corn aside.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dried corn with one egg until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, breadcrumbs, spices, and shredded cheese. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Gently fold the wet corn mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
  5. Use your hands to scoop small portions and shape them into bite-sized balls.
  6. Refrigerate the formed bites for 30 minutes for optimal texture. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) if baking.
  7. Fry in heated oil for about 3-4 minutes, or bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway for even crispiness.
  8. Drain fried bites on paper towels to absorb excess oil and allow them to cool slightly.
