Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (or frozen)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 medium ripe peaches, diced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • ½ cup olive oil (for frying)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: If using fresh corn, slice it off the cob.
  2. Mix the batter: In a large bowl, combine corn, flour, eggs, salt, and pepper. Stir until just mixed; lumps are okay.
  3. Add flavors: Gently fold in peaches, tomatoes, and basil.
  4. Heat oil: In a skillet over medium heat, add enough olive oil to cover the bottom. Heat until shimmering.
  5. Fry fritters: Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Cook until golden brown on both sides (about 3 minutes each side). Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
  6. Serve: Garnish with extra basil and enjoy warm with balsamic glaze if desired.
