Description
These Iberian ham croquettes are a classic of Spanish cuisine, perfect for any occasion. The creamy béchamel with the intense flavor of the ham makes them an irresistible snack. Although they require a little time, the result is worth it. Ideal to serve as an appetizer at a special dinner or simply to enjoy on an afternoon of tapas.
