About Cheese croquettes
Cheese croquettes are a popular savory snack with origins in European cuisine, especially beloved in countries like Spain and France. These bite-sized delights are made from a creamy mixture of cheese, mashed potatoes or béchamel sauce, and sometimes herbs or spices, which is then rolled into a breadcrumb crust and fried until golden and crispy. The type of cheese used often varies, ranging from tangy cheddar to rich gruyère, offering flexibility in flavor. While cheese croquettes are indulgent and an excellent source of protein and calcium from the cheese, their fried preparation can lead to higher fat content and calorie density. Enjoying them in moderation as part of a balanced diet is key. Pairing them with fresh greens or lean proteins can create a satisfying yet mindful meal. Perfect for entertaining or as an appetizer, cheese croquettes are a delicious nod to Europe’s love for comfort food.
