Description

These ham and egg croquettes are a classic of Spanish cuisine, perfect for any occasion. The creamy béchamel, enriched with Serrano ham and hard-boiled egg, is the secret to their irresistible flavor. I often prepare them for family parties, they are always a hit! The recipe is simple, although it requires a little patience for the dough to rest and cool well. But the result is worth it: golden and crispy croquettes on the outside, and soft and creamy on the inside. They can be served as an appetizer, starter or even as a main course accompanied by a salad. Go ahead and try them, you'll love them!
