Croquetas

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Roux

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to combine, cooking for about 2 minutes until the mixture is lightly golden.

  2. 2

    Add Milk

    Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.

  3. 3

    Mix in Ham and Cheese

    Stir in the diced ham, shredded Gouda, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool.

  4. 4

    Shape the Croquetas

    Once the mixture has cooled, use your hands to form small logs or balls, about 1-2 inches in size.

  5. 5

    Prepare for Frying

    In a shallow bowl, beat the egg. Place the breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl. Dip each croqueta in the egg, then coat it in breadcrumbs.

  6. 6

    Fry the Croquetas

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the croquetas in batches until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the croquetas hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
