Makes 4 Servings
Ingredients

- 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
- 3/4 cup preshredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 3/4 cup dried bread crumbs, divided

- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Directions
- Mash the beans in a large bowl using a potato masher or the back of a large fork or spoon until smooth but still a bit chunky. Add the corn, cheese, 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs, egg, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste and mix well to combine.
- Shape the mixture into eight 1/2-inch thick patties and coat with the remaining bread crumbs. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
- Serve with warm pasta sauce for dipping.
