About Croqueta de jamon

Croqueta de Jamón is a popular Spanish delicacy made of finely minced cured ham mixed into a creamy béchamel sauce, coated with breadcrumbs, and fried until golden. Originating from Spain, these bite-sized croquettes are often served as tapas, showcasing the country’s love for flavorful, comforting finger foods. While their crisp exterior and rich, savory filling make them irresistible, Croquetas de Jamón are typically high in calories due to their fried preparation and the presence of butter in the béchamel. However, they do provide protein from the ham and essential nutrients such as iron and B vitamins, depending on the quality of the ingredients. Moderation is key when enjoying this indulgent treat, and baking them instead of frying can make them a slightly healthier option without compromising too much of their signature texture.
