Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Monterey jack cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Canned corn, drained
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and add heavy cream. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a batter forms.
Fold in the Monterey jack cheese and drained corn until evenly distributed in the batter.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter with the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, use a tablespoon to scoop the corn mixture and gently drop into the skillet to form small nuggets.
Flatten each nugget slightly with the back of the spoon to ensure even cooking.
Cook the nuggets for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the nuggets from the skillet and drain excess oil by placing them on a paper towel-lined plate.
Let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
