Description

These ham croquettes are a reinvented classic, perfect for using up those pieces of Iberian ham that are left in the fridge. The béchamel sauce, smooth and creamy, is easily prepared in the Thermomix®, guaranteeing a perfect texture. The secret is to let the dough cool for a whole day so that the croquettes are firmer and crispier when frying. Ideal as an appetizer at a special dinner or to surprise your guests at a party. A delicious bite that always triumphs! You can use lactose-free milk for a lighter version.
