Description
These Iberian ham croquettes are a classic reinvented for the Thermomix®. The creamy béchamel, enriched with the intense flavor of the ham, makes them an irresistible snack. I have been preparing this recipe for years and it is always a success at family gatherings and celebrations. The key is patience to let the dough cool, this facilitates the formation of the croquettes. They are perfect as a starter or snack, and can be frozen before frying to always have them on hand. Go ahead and try them, you will love them! Ideal for a special dinner or a festive meal.

Preparation (9 steps)
Preparation of the béchamel
Place the butter in the Thermomix glass. Program 3 Min./70°C/Speed 2 to melt the butter.
Incorporation of the flour
Add the flour to the glass and program 3 Min./100°C/Speed 3 to cook the flour and form a roux.
Add the milk and spices
Pour the milk into the glass. Add salt, ground black pepper and nutmeg to taste. Program 8 Min./90°C/Speed 4. Remove with the spatula if necessary to prevent sticking.
Incorporate the ham
Add the diced ham to the glass and program 2 Min./90°C/Speed 3/Reverse to integrate the ham without breaking it too much.
Cool the dough
Pour the dough into a tray or container greased with a little oil. Flatten and cover with transparent film, making sure it is in contact with the dough. Let it cool to room temperature and then reserve in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
Shape the croquettes
Once the dough is cold and firm, divide it into portions of the desired size. Shape each portion with your hands greased with oil.
Bread the croquettes
Pass each croquette through breadcrumbs, then through the beaten eggs with a little salt, and finally through breadcrumbs again.
Refrigerate the breaded croquettes
Place the breaded croquettes on a tray, avoiding them touching each other. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so they do not open when frying. They can also be frozen at this point.
Fry the croquettes
Fry the croquettes in a pan with plenty of hot oil over medium-high heat until golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper.
