Ingredients
For The Fritters:
- 2½ cups baby carrots 360 grams
- 1½ cups corn kernels (thawed, if frozen; drained, if using canned corn)
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- Generous pinch of salt and pepper
- ½ cup cilantro roughly chopped
- 2 large egg whites
- ¼ cup olive oil
For The Toppings:
- 5 eggs
- 5 slices turkey bacon
- ¼ cup mashed avocado about ½ of a small avocado
- ¼ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- Salsa of your choice
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, and let the eggs boil for 6 minutes. Drain the water, fill the pot with lots of cold water, and set aside to let the eggs cool.
- Add the carrots and corn to a large food processor, and process until they are finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to the middle of a large kitchen towel, and wring out all the excess water. Repeat with a new towel if necessary. The mixture should be as dry as possible.
- In a large bowl, mix the carrot and corn mixture with the coconut flour, cumin, salt, pepper, cilantro, and egg whites. Mix well.
- Heat ¼ cup of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Using a ¼-cup scoop, form the carrot mixture into 10 patties. (It may be easier to squeeze them into balls and slightly flatten them in your hand, then finish flattening them with a spatula in the pan.) If they crumble a little bit, squish them back together with the spatula when you place them in the pan. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Flip carefully and repeat.
- While the fritters cook, heat a large pan to medium-high heat and cook the turkey bacon until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Cut each slice in half and set aside.
- To make the avocado crema, blend the mashed avocado and Greek yogurt in a food processor until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
- Peel the eggs, cut each egg in half, then scoop out the cooked yolk. Save the yolks for another recipe.
- To assemble, spread as much salsa as you want on each fritter, and then top each fritter with half a slice of turkey bacon and half of an egg white. Top with a dollop of avocado crema.
- Serve immediately.
