Croquetas Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in the cooked ham and cook for another 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and mix well, cooking for about 2 minutes until it forms a paste.

  2. 2

    Make the Bechamel Sauce

    Gradually add the milk, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens. Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Form the Croquetas

    Once the mixture has cooled, shape it into small cylinders or balls. Dip each croqueta in the beaten eggs, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat evenly.

  4. 4

    Fry the Croquetas

    In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the croquetas in batches, frying until golden brown on all sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve hot and enjoy your homemade croquetas!
