Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels (or thawed frozen); 1/3 cup cornmeal (polenta); 1/4 cup all-purpose flour; 1/4 teaspoon baking powder; Pinch of cayenne pepper; Sea salt and black pepper to taste; 2 large eggs, separated; 2 tablespoons whole milk; 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted; 2 tablespoons fresh basil, roughly chopped; 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, roughly chopped; Neutral oil for frying (about 1 cup); For charring:; 6 medium ripe heirloom tomatoes (or 12 cherry tomatoes), halved; 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil; Fleur de sel; For serving:; 1 ball fresh burrata (4–5 oz); For the herb oil:; 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, packed; 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves; 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil; 1 small clove garlic; Pinch of sea salt

These are not typical fritters—they're light, barely fried, and crispy on the outside with a tender, almost soufflé-like center. Fresh corn and a touch of cornmeal give them substance; burrata and charred tomato make them feel like a real dish, not an appetizer afterthought.
