fresh corn

🥗Healthier: frozen corn

💰Cheaper: canned corn

Frozen corn is often more accessible and retains flavor.

Start by preparing the batter. Leave aside a few whole corn kernels from the corn.

Crack eggs into the milk and add salt.

Add brown sugar instead of caster sugar to the mixture.

Blend the corn mixture until smooth, but leave some texture.

Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and mix in the whole corn kernels gently.

Grate fresh mozzarella, halloumi, and feta cheese together.

Mix the grated cheeses without draining them on paper towels.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add a mix of oil and butter.

Once the butter is melted, spoon in a full ladle and a half of the corn mixture into the pan.

Cook until one side is golden, then flip it over with a spatula.

Fold the cooked mixture into a half moon shape and add some cheese mixture to one half.

Cook for another minute to melt the cheese, then fold it completely in half.

Let it cook for an additional 20-30 seconds to caramelize the other side.

Slide the cachapa onto a plate and add a slice of butter on top before serving.
