Method · 6 steps
- 1
Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Line a big baking tray with parchment paper.
- 2
In a small pan, warm the oil and soften the onion and pepper in it for 5 mins. Meanwhile, combine the baking powder, spices and flour in a bowl. Stir the onion and pepper, sweetcorn and 2 of the eggs into the dry mix until well combined.
- 3
Drop eight spoonfuls of the batter onto the tray, leaving plenty of space between them, and press each one down lightly with the underside of a spoon. Bake for 20 mins, or until they are firm and golden.

While the fritters bake, combine all the salsa ingredients in a bowl. Poach 2 of the leftover eggs to the firmness you prefer.

For the first meal, serve four fritters with the poached eggs on top, along with half of the salsa.

Chill the other four fritters for another day. To serve them, reheat in a pan or the microwave and top with the rest of the salsa and 2 more poached eggs.
