Combine the corn, flour, baking powder, chives, and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir in the milk and cheese. The batter should be the consistency of a thick pancake batter.4. Heat a few tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add about 1/4 cup of batter to the skillet and then quickly smooth the batter out to a circle. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, flip and cook another 2 minutes, or until brown and crisped all over. Remove and repeat with the remaining batter. 5. To make the aioli, combine all ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt. 6. To assemble, spread one side of half the fritters with aioli. Layer the lettuce, tomato, and bacon on top, then top the with remaining fritters. Serve with the aioli on the side.
