Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a large baking tray with baking parchment.

  • step 2

    Heat the oil in a small pan and fry the onion and pepper for 5 mins until softened. Meanwhile, mix the flour, spices and baking powder in a bowl. Add the onions, pepper, corn and 2 of the eggs, then mix together well.

  • step 3

    Spoon eight mounds of the mixture onto the baking tray, well spaced apart, then flatten slightly with the back of the spoon. Bake for 20 mins until set and golden.

  • step 4

    Meanwhile, mix together the salsa ingredients and poach 2 of the remaining eggs to your liking. If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan, serve four fritters on the day you make them, topped with half the salsa and the poached eggs. Chill the remaining fritters for another day. Reheat them in a pan or microwave and serve with 2 more poached eggs and the remaining salsa.

These were not good. Very bland and very dry. Will definitely not make again. They might have been better fried but won’t as waste of ingredients

Is the baking powder essential ? Can it be made without it or will it affect the outcome ?

I added extra salt and also chopped red chilli and extra lime to the salsa. Only used one can of beans too. Really delicious

Extremely bland recipe. Luckily I added some salt to the fritters but it’s an otherwise extremely sad meal.

Lovely texture for a fritter that is baked rather than fried. Needs stronger flavouring though. I added seasoning salt and fried garlic. Save some of the lime juice to squeeze over once cooked. I also mashed the beans a little to create a creamier salsa side.
