Begin by draining a can of corn thoroughly and patting it dry. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine cheese and egg. Mix in paprika, salt, and pepper until blended.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and any additional dry seasonings to avoid lumps.

Fold the corn into the cheese mixture until well combined, being careful not to overmix.

Shape the mixture into bite-sized balls (about the size of a golf ball) and place on a baking sheet.

Chill the formed bites in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to help them firm up.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the bites for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden.

Remove bites from oil and let them drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
