Method
 

Fritter Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh sweet corn kernels, all-purpose flour, egg, milk, baking powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Gently mix until just combined to maintain a light texture for your corn fritters. Stir in chopped green onions and grated cheddar cheese.
  2. Pour about 1/4 inch of vegetable or canola oil into a large frying pan and heat it over medium heat.
  3. Once the oil is hot, carefully spoon 1/4 cup of the fritter batter for each fritter into the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and fry for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
  4. Using the same pan, crack in the eggs and cook them to your desired doneness.
  5. To assemble, place one corn fritter on a plate, layer with a cooked egg, add bacon or sausage if desired, top with avocado and arugula, and drizzle with hot sauce.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
