Monsieur Cuisine’s Exquisite Twist on Croquetas: The Creamy and Flavorful Cabrales Variation

Are you looking to elevate your croqueta game? Monsieur Cuisine has the perfect recipe for you – a creamy and flavorful Cabrales variation that will have your guests begging for more. Made with the finest ingredients and bursting with rich, cheesy flavors, these croquetas are sure to impress even the most discerning palates.

Ingredients:

1 cup of Cabrales cheese, crumbled

1 cup of milk

1/2 cup of all-purpose flour

1/4 cup of butter

Salt and pepper to taste

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup of breadcrumbs

Vegetable oil for frying

Preparation:

1. Prepare the Cabrales Cheese Mixture

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and stir constantly until it forms a smooth paste, about 2 minutes. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

2. Add the Cabrales Cheese

Once the mixture has thickened, add the crumbled Cabrales cheese and stir until it is fully melted and incorporated into the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

3. Shape the Croquetas

Using a spoon, scoop out small portions of the cheese mixture and shape them into small cylinders. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

4. Coat the Croquetas

In one bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, place the breadcrumbs. Dip each croqueta into the beaten eggs, then coat it with breadcrumbs, ensuring it is fully covered. Repeat this process for all the croquetas.

5. Fry the Croquetas

In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the croquetas in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.

6. Serve and Enjoy

Transfer the crispy Cabrales croquetas to a serving platter and garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt. Serve hot and enjoy the creamy and flavorful goodness of these exquisite croquetas. They are perfect as an appetizer, snack, or even as a main course accompanied by a fresh salad.

With Monsieur Cuisine’s Cabrales variation, you can bring a touch of sophistication to your next gathering and impress your friends and family with your culinary skills. Bon appétit!
