Ingredients

- 2 hard-boiled eggs
- 150 gr. breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs for the batter
- For the bechamel:
- 500 l. milk
- 50 gr. Of flour
- 50 gr. of butter
- A little bit of nutmeg
- Sal Island
Preparation
- We will cook the eggs. Chop the ham and the 2 hard-boiled eggs.
- We prepare a frying pan to make the béchamel sauce, we put the butter and the flour.
- We let it cook for a few minutes so that the flour is well done. We heat the milk a little in the microwave and we will add it to the pan little by little and without stopping to stir.
- So until we see that we have a thick cream without lumps.
- We add a little salt and nutmeg to taste. We add to the dough, the ham and the eggs cut into pieces.
- We stir and mix well. We let it rest until it is cold, we can leave it in the fridge.
- We prepare the batter, in a bowl we beat the two eggs and in another we put the breadcrumbs. When the dough is cold we will form the balls, it costs a little because the dough is very soft.
- Once we have passed them through egg and breadcrumbs, we leave them on a plate.
- At this point we can put them in a freezer bag, if we want. When they are all battered we will put a pan with plenty of oil, when it is hot we will fry the croquettes until they are golden brown.
- We will take them out and put them on a plate with absorbent paper.
- And they will be ready to eat !!!!
