Ingredients

• 420g can corn kernels, drained, rinsed
• 4g pkt lightly dried chives
• 200g haloumi cheese, grated
• 200g cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 cup plain flour
• 1 tsp all-purpose seasoning
• 3/4 cup milk

Method

1. Combine corn, chives, half the haloumi, half the cheddar, flour and seasoning in a bowl. Add milk and stir to combine. Combine remaining cheese together in a separate bowl.
2. Add enough oil to come 1cm up the side of a large frying pan and place over a medium-high heat. Spoon 1/4 cup batter into the pan and cook for 2 minutes or until golden underneath.
3. Sprinkle a little of the cheese mixture on each fritter, turn and cook for a further 2 minutes or until cooked through and golden. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter and cheese.
4. Sprinkle fritters with sea salt and serve with tomato and avocado.
