A guaranteed success!
Ingredients (10 ingredients)

200 gramos Iberian ham in cubes
-
1 piece ham bone or a ham tip
-
50 gramos butter
-
700 mililitros milk
-
50 gramos flour

1 pinch nutmeg

Preparation (6 steps)
Infuse the milk with the ham bone
Place the ham bone and 700 ml of milk in the Thermomix bowl. Program 8 Min./90°C/Speed 1. Remove the ham bone and reserve the infused milk.
Prepare the béchamel base
Add 50 g of butter to the Thermomix bowl. Program 3 Min./100°C/Speed 2 to melt the butter. Then, add 50 g of flour and program 2 Min./100°C/Speed 3 to cook the flour.
Incorporate the ham and milk
Add 200 g of Iberian ham in cubes to the Thermomix bowl. Program 1 Min./Speed 2 so that the ham releases its flavor. Then, gradually pour in the reserved infused milk, programming 15 Min./90°C/Speed 4. Stir with the spatula if necessary to avoid lumps.
Season and cool the dough
Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of nutmeg to the Thermomix bowl. Program 1 Min./Speed 3 to integrate the flavors. Taste and rectify salt if necessary. Pour the dough into a dish, cover with transparent film touching the surface and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Shape and bread the croquettes
Beat 2 eggs in a deep dish. Place 300 g of breadcrumbs in another dish. Take portions of cold dough, shape them into a croquette, pass them first through the beaten egg and then through the breadcrumbs, making sure they are well covered.
Fry the croquettes
Heat 1 glass of oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the croquettes in batches, browning them on all sides. Remove the croquettes and place them on kitchen paper to remove excess oil.
