Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a bowl, mix dry ingredients together. Make a well in the middle and add milk while stirring with a whisk. Add egg and mix well. Incorporate corn and half the Cheddar.

Heat a large non-stick skillet on medium heat. Drop small spoonfuls of batter into the skillet. Cook each side about 2–3 minutes. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and top with remaining Cheddar and bacon.

Bake in the oven for 5–10 minutes. Garnish with tomatoes and cilantro just before serving.
