Corn Cakes with Poached Eggs and Mango Salsa Recipe

Prep: 40 min. Cook: 5 min./batch

Yield: 6 Servings

40 5 45

Ingredients

1 medium mango, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup salsa
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
1 green onion, finely chopped
CORN CAKES:
4 eggs
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup cornmeal
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 can (8-1/4 ounces) cream-style corn
1/2 cup 2% milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup fresh or frozen corn, thawed
4 green onions, chopped
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
POACHED EGGS:
1 tablespoon white vinegar
6 eggs

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the mango, salsa, cilantro and onion; set aside.
Separate two eggs. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and pepper. In another bowl, whisk the remaining eggs, egg yolks, cream-style corn, milk and butter. Stir into dry ingredients just until blended. Fold in corn and onions. In a small bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Fold into batter.
Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a greased hot griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, place 2-3 in. of water in a large skillet with high sides; add vinegar. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer gently. Break cold eggs, one at a time, into a custard cup or saucer; holding the cup close to the surface of the water, slip each egg into water.
Cook, uncovered, until whites are completely set and yolks are still soft, about 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, lift eggs out of water. Serve with corn cakes and salsa. Yield: 6 servings.
