Przepis na tapas - chrupiące croquetas de jamón serrano - czyli krokiety z szynką serrano

ham

🥗Healthier: turkey ham

💰Cheaper: chicken

Turkey ham reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and adds a different flavor.

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: aquafaba

Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative for binding.

breadcrumbs

🥗Healthier: panko

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Panko gives a lighter texture, but crushed crackers are budget-friendly.

Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.

Dice the ham into small pieces, about half a centimeter, and add to the heated skillet.

Add flour and nutmeg to the skillet and mix vigorously until combined.

Gradually pour in the milk while stirring until a thick béchamel consistency is achieved.

Transfer the mixture to a plate and let it cool.

In a separate deep plate, crack the egg and whisk it gently.

On another plate, add the breadcrumbs.

Cut the cooled mixture into about 10-12 equal parts and shape into balls about 3 centimeters in diameter.

Dip each croquette in the beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.

In the deep skillet, heat a large amount of oil for frying.

Add all the croquettes to the hot oil and fry until golden brown.

Remove the croquettes and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
