Use up the season's juicy, sun-ripened peaches in this corn fritter recipe filled with gooey Halloumi cheese and sweet onions. These fritters are decadent and slightly sweet, and homegrown herbs add a fresh taste. The addition of prosciutto makes this recipe feel fancy with little effort. —Chainey Kuykendall, Richmond, Virginia

Ingredients

1-1/4 cups cornmeal
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 large egg plus 1 large egg white, room temperature
3/4 cup 2% milk
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup finely chopped sweet onion
1/2 cup diced Halloumi cheese
Oil for deep-fat frying
1 medium peach, chopped
4 thin slices prosciutto, cut into thin strips

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk the first 5 ingredients. In another bowl, whisk egg, egg white, milk and honey until blended. Add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Fold in onion and cheese; let stand 10 minutes.

In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375°. Stir batter. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls, a few at a time, into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, 2-3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. (Keep cooked fritters warm on a baking sheet in a 200° oven until all fritters are made.)
Serve fritters with chopped peach and prosciutto; sprinkle with additional pepper.
