Cheese Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Cheese Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine Montgomery cheddar cheese, cream cheese, egg yolk, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended and smooth. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  2. 2

    Shape the Croquettes

    Once the cheese mixture is firm, use your hands to shape it into small balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball.

  3. 3

    Coat the Croquettes

    Prepare a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Roll each croquette in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry the Croquettes

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil to 180°C (350°F). Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Montgomery cheddar croquettes hot, optionally with a dipping sauce of your choice.
