Croquetas Españolas

Croquetas Españolas

Pane-bistecca
Croquetas Españolas, a classic Spanish home-cooked dish, are delicious little croquettes with creamy béchamel sauce and meat filling, usually Serrano ham. I made them with chorizo!

Covered in a crispy, golden brown breadcrumb coating, they don’t necessarily have to be deep-fried. I baked them in the oven until crispy, which saves a lot of oil! They are perfect as an appetizer (tapas) and are incredibly easy to prepare!

I always enjoy croquettes, whether with ham, chorizo, or fish—I love them!

This recipe is part in Volkermampft’s culinary world tour, which is traveling to Spain this month.
