About Ham croquette
Ham croquettes are crispy, bite-sized snacks originating from Spanish cuisine, commonly enjoyed as tapas. They feature a creamy filling made of finely diced ham, flour, butter, and milk or béchamel sauce, seasoned with nutmeg or pepper. This mixture is shaped into small rolls or balls, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried until golden. While ham croquettes are rich in flavor and protein from the ham, they are typically high in calories due to their fried preparation and butter content. The breadcrumb coating adds carbs, while the frying process increases fat levels, making them an indulgent treat rather than a health-focused option. Moderation is key, as they are best consumed as part of a balanced diet. Despite their heavier nutritional profile, their simplicity and satisfying texture make ham croquettes a beloved dish across the world, enjoyed in casual gatherings or festive occasions.
