1
Prep ingredients and pans
Parchment paper
Chef's knife
Wire rack
Sheet pans

Thaw the corn, finely dice the yellow onion, shred the Cabot Sharp Cheddar Cheese, beat the eggs, and line one sheet pan with parchment paper for the breaded uncooked coxinhas. Set a clean wire rack over a separate sheet pan for draining the fried coxinhas.

Keep fingertips tucked away from the knife while finely dicing the onion.

1 cup corn
1/2 cup yellow onion
4 ounces cheddar cheese
2 Each eggs
2
Cook the corn filling base
Large skillet
Wooden spoon

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat; add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the corn, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper, then cook until hot and slightly dry, about 3 minutes.

1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup yellow onion
1 cup corn
1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
3
Finish the cheese filling
Wooden spoon
Mixing bowls

Transfer the corn mixture to a bowl and let it cool for 5 minutes. Fold in the Cabot Sharp Cheddar Cheese until the filling is evenly mixed.

4 ounces cheddar cheese
4
Cook the dough
Wooden spoon
Medium saucepan

In a saucepan, combine the milk, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt; bring to a gentle simmer. Add the all-purpose flour all at once and stir hard until a smooth wheat-flour dough forms and pulls from the pan, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Stir carefully to avoid splashes from the hot milk mixture.

2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
5
Cool and portion the dough
Clean work surface

Transfer the dough to a clean surface and cool until warm enough to handle. Knead for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth, then divide into 16 equal pieces.

6
Shape the coxinhas
Clean work surface

Flatten one dough piece into a small disk, spoon about 2 tablespoons filling into the center, and pinch the dough closed. Shape it into a coxinha teardrop with a rounded base and pointed top; repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

7
Bread the coxinhas
Parchment paper
Mixing bowls
Sheet pans

Dip each coxinha in the beaten eggs, then coat with panko, pressing so the crumbs adhere evenly. Place the breaded uncooked coxinhas on the parchment-lined sheet pan while the oil heats.

Keep the egg-dipped uncooked coxinhas separate from the clean draining rack.

2 Each eggs
2 cups panko bread crumbs
8
Deep-fry the coxinhas
Slotted spoon
Deep-fry thermometer
Deep pot

Pour vegetable oil into the deep pot or Dutch oven and heat to 350°F. Fry 4 coxinhas at a time until deep golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes, keeping the oil between 340°F and 360°F.

Use a deep pot with several inches of headspace, lower coxinhas gently with a slotted spoon, and never leave hot oil unattended.

6 cups vegetable oil
9
Drain and serve
Slotted spoon
Wire rack

Transfer fried coxinhas to the clean wire rack and let them drain for 5 minutes. Serve while the crust is crisp and the cheese filling is melted.

Let the coxinhas cool briefly before eating because the cheese filling will be very hot.
