Steps:
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Pour off fat into a bowl. Wipe skillet clean with a paper towel; set aside.
- Stir together cheese, sour cream, bell pepper, scallions, flour, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, cayenne, and egg yolks in a large bowl; set aside. In another large bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold beaten egg whites into reserved batter.
- Heat 2 tablespoons reserved fat (or vegetable oil) in skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches of 3 or 4, pour 2 tablespoons batter into skillet for each cake; cook, turning once, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes (add more fat or oil if skillet seems dry). Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot with reserved bacon.

[email protected]Overall, these cheddar cakes were a good appetizer. They were easy to make and had a nice flavor. However, they were a bit dry, so I would recommend adding some moisture, such as sour cream or milk, to the batter.

[email protected]The flavor of these cheddar cakes was spot-on, but they were a bit too dense for my liking. I'll try adding some baking powder next time to see if that helps.

[email protected]These cheddar cakes were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.
