Fried Corn Casserole - Leftover Rollover

Normally there isn't any leftovers of my Corn Casserole or Corn Bacon Casserole, but on the occasions I make 2 pans instead of 1, some gets leftover. When that happens, I take the opportunity to roll it over and make something new. Now the casserole has the taste of a corn tamale, except the texture is softer. When we make corn tamales we pan fry them to give them a touch of crispiness and enhance the sweetness in the corn. I thought why not take the same approach with the leftover casserole.

I had to make sure that the casserole was hard. So I cut up the remaining casserole into short rectangles (or any shape you like) and placed then in the fridge. The next morning they're nice and sturdy not soft. I then created a breading station, flour, egg & panko crumbs. Breaded it up and pan fried it up. They came out crispy, gooey and Oh so good!!! I served it with a dollop of sour cream and a drizzle of honey.

It was amazing!! Fried corn, what's not to like! 

Buen Provecho!!
