Chili-Cheese Corn Fritters

This is actually a Weight Watchers recipe...but hold on to your hats... it is "The bomb" as my youngest son says. It just so happens to be another one of his favorites. For those interested I'll add the exchange and nutrition information at the bottom.

Makes 4 servings, 3 fritters each

6oz cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup drained canned whole-kernel corn
2 eggs
1/3 cup + 2 tsp. plain dried bread crumbs
1/4 tsp. each garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and double-acting baking powder
1/8 tsp. each salt and ground red pepper
2 Tbls. vegetable oil

In 1-quart mixing bowl combine all ingredients except oil; let stand a few minutes for flavors to blend.

In 10-inch nonstick skillet heat oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking; spoon corn mixture into skillet, forming 6 equal fritters. Using the back of a spoon, press top of each fritter to flatten slightly; cook until browned on bottom. Turn fritters over and cook until browned on other side.
