In this ultimate guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of making delicious croquetas that will impress even the most discerning palates.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of butter

1/2 cup of all-purpose flour

2 cups of milk

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon of black pepper

1 cup of finely chopped jamón serrano

2 eggs

1 cup of breadcrumbs

Vegetable oil for frying

Preparation:

1. Prepare the Bechamel Sauce

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk constantly until the mixture turns golden brown, about 5 minutes. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Cook the sauce until it thickens, about 10 minutes. Season with salt, nutmeg, and black pepper.

2. Add the Jamón Serrano

Stir in the finely chopped jamón serrano into the bechamel sauce, ensuring that it is evenly distributed. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

3. Chill the Mixture

Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it against the surface of the sauce to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm and easy to handle.

4. Shape the Croquetas

Once the mixture has chilled, use a spoon to scoop out small portions and shape them into croquetas. Roll each croqueta in breadcrumbs to coat evenly.

5. Coat the Croquetas in Egg

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Dip each croqueta into the beaten eggs, ensuring that it is completely coated.

6. Fry the Croquetas

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F. Carefully drop the croquetas into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

7. Serve and Enjoy

Once all the croquetas are cooked, serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own. These croquetas de jamón are sure to be a hit at your next gathering!
