Mexican Carrot Breakfast Fritters
- FOR THE FRITTERS:
- 2-1/2 cups Baby Carrots
- 1-1/2 cup Corn Kernels
- 1/2 cups Coconut Flour
- 2 teaspoons Cumin Powder
- 1 pinch Generous Pinch Of Salt/pepper
- 1/2 cups Cilantro, Roughly Chopped
- 2 Large Egg Whites
- 1/4 cups Olive Oil
- FOR THE TOPPINGS:
- 5 Eggs
- 5 slices Turkey Bacon
- 1/4 cups Mashed Avocado (1/4 Cup Is About 1/2 A Small Avocado)
- 1/4 cups Non-fat Plain Greek Yogurt
- Salsa, As Desired
- 1. First you are going to cook the eggs for the topping. Place the eggs in a large pot and just cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat and boil for 6 minutes. Then drain the water and set aside to cool.
- 2. For the fritters:
- 3. Using a large food processor, crush the carrots and corn until they are finely chopped.
- 4. Dump the mixture into a large kitchen towel, and ring out all of the excess water. It's a bit of a workout, but make sure you get it all to ensure that the mixture is nice and dry.
- 5. In a large bowl, mix the carrot/corn mixture with the coconut flour, cumin powder, salt, pepper, cilantro and egg whites. Mix well.
- 6. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. If you don't have a very large pan, heat half of the oil at a time and do two batches.
- 7. Using a 1/4 cup scoop, form the carrot mixture into 10 patties. I found it easiest to really compact them into balls and slightly flatten them, and then finish flattening them with a spatula in the pan. It's OK if they crumble a little bit, as you can easily reform them in the pan.
- 8. Add the patties into the pan in a single layer making sure that you don't crowd the pan. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Flip carefully and repeat cooking the other side. Remove the cooked patties to a plate and repeat with the second batch if you are working with a small pan.
- 9. To make the toppings:
- 10. While the fritters cook, heat a large pan to medium/high heat and cook the bacon until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes/side. Remove back from the pan. Cut each slice in half and set aside.
- 11. Blend the mashed avocado and Greek yogurt in a food processor until smooth and well combined.
- 12. Peel the eggs, cut them in half and scoop out the hard yolk. Use the yolk for another purpose or discard.
- 13. To assemble:
- 14. Plate the fritters. Spread as much salsa as you want on each fritter and then top each with half a slice of bacon and half an egg white. Top with a dollop of avocado crema.
