How to make Ham and Egg Croquettes:
The first step to make these ham and egg croquettes is to gather the ingredients that we will use and boil the eggs in a pot with plenty of water for about 12 minutes until the eggs are cooked. While the eggs are cooking, peel and chop the onion. Then we put the butter in another pot or pan so that it melts and add the onion to start frying it over medium heat together with the ham in cubes. When the eggs have been cooked, we drain them, let them cool, remove the shell and chop them into pieces to find them in the homemade croquettes. Once the Serrano ham and onion are well poached, add the flour and stir well for about 10 minutes so that it does not stick to the bottom or burn.
Then add the milk and continue stirring slowly until the white roux for the homemade ham and egg croquettes thickens and forms a homogeneous mass. When the dough for the ham croquettes has thickened, add the chopped eggs, turn off the heat and continue stirring for a couple more minutes. Next, place the dough for the ham and egg croquettes in a bowl or tray, and let it rest for 1 or 2 hours until it cools. When it has cooled, with the help of two spoons we form the ham and egg croquettes, taking a little bit of dough each time. Then we pass them through the beaten eggs and finally, we coat them with the breadcrumbs.
Finally, we fry the homemade croquettes in a very hot pan or pot with plenty of heat and when they are fried, we leave them on a plate with absorbent paper so that they drain well. And ready! Now we can taste these delicious ham and egg croquettes.
