\"\"<\/a>1\/4 C. bourbon (may skip if desired)
\n1\/2 C. olive oil
\n2 T. apple cider vinegar
\n2 T. honey
\n1 chipotle pepper, minced
\n1 clove garlic, minced or grated
\nsalt + pepper, to taste<\/p>\n

1 1\/4 C. sweet yellow corn, about 2 ears
\n3\/4 C. flour
\n1\/8 C. sugar
\n1\/2 tsp. baking powder
\n1 T. brown suger
\n1\/4 tsp. salt
\n1\/4 tsp. pepper
\n1\/2 C. milk
\n1\/4 C. canola oil (for cooking)<\/p>\n

8 slices of bacon
\n2 T. brown sugar
\n1\/4 tsp. cayenne
\n7 oz. smoked gouda or gouda cheese, sliced
\n1 C. grape tomatoes, halved
\n3 C. arugula
\n1 avocado, mashed<\/p>\n

To make the chipotle bourbon dressing. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring bourbon to a boil. Cook until liquid is reduced to about 2 T., 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until well chilled. Once chilled add the olive oil, vinegar, honey, chipotle pepper and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and whisk to combine. Set aside.<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Arrange bacon strips about 1 1\/2 inches apart. In a small bowl stir together brown sugar and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over bacon. Bake 14 to 16 minutes until bacon is browned and crisp. Transfer to paper towel; cool. Halve slices. While the bacon cooks make the corn fritters. Add the flour, brown sugar, sugar, baking powder, salt, pepper and 3\/4 C. the corn to a food processor. Pulse until blended together, then transfer mixture to a mixing bowl. Stir in remaining corn and milk, mixing until a batter forms. It should be the consistency of a thick pancake batter.<\/p>\n

Add oil to a large skillet saucepan and heat over medium high heat. When the oil is hot add a little less than 1\/4 C. batter to the skillet and then quickly smooth the batter out to a circle. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, flip and place one slice of gouda cheese right on top of the fritters (leave 4 fritters with no cheese). Cook another 2 minutes or until brown and crisped all over. Remove and repeat with the remaining batter until all the batter has been used. Keep the fritters warm.<\/p>\n

To assemble, place four fritters with cheese on 4 plates. Spread with mashed avocado, arugula, tomatoes and a few slices of bacon. Top with another cheesy corn fitter and repeat the layering. Finally add the non-cheesy fritter (should be the 3rd fritter, 3rd layer) and top with a few arugula leaves, tomatoes and bacon. Drizzle with the chipotle bourbon dressing.<\/p>\n

The stacks are really pretty, but if you want these to be an easy eat then just leave the fritters unstacked. If you do this though, I would make a little extra bacon and add another avocado. Unstacked fritters leave more room for toppings!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
