cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and adds flavor.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water + cornstarch

Almond milk is dairy-free, while cornstarch thickens the mixture.

breadcrumbs

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Crushed crackers provide a similar texture at a lower cost.

Clean and chop 1/4 kg of mushrooms very finely.

In a skillet, add a large knob of butter and a little oil.

Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent.

Once the onion is almost fried, add the chopped mushrooms and some salt.

Fry the mushrooms until they are well browned.

Add about 5 tablespoons of flour and stir well.

Gradually add milk, mixing until the desired consistency is reached.

Add a tablespoon of cream cheese and some semi-soft cheese, adjusting salt to taste.

Incorporate a chopped boiled egg into the mixture and continue stirring.

Grate a little nutmeg into the mixture and stir until it separates from the skillet.

Transfer the mixture to a container and cover with plastic wrap to prevent crusting.

Let the mixture cool completely, preferably overnight.

Once solidified, scoop portions of the mixture and shape them into balls.

Dust the croquettes with a little flour to prevent sticking.

Dip each croquette in beaten egg and then coat with breadcrumbs.

Place the croquettes in a container as many will be frozen.

The recipe yields about 30 croquettes, depending on size.

To fry, heat plenty of oil in a skillet until hot.

Fry the croquettes until golden brown on all sides.

Remove the croquettes and drain on absorbent paper.
