About Kroket

The kroket is a traditional Dutch snack characterized by its golden-brown, crispy exterior and soft, savory filling. Typically, its core consists of a thick ragout made from a blend of meat—often beef or veal—flour, butter, and seasonings, which is chilled, breaded with egg and breadcrumbs, then deep-fried to perfection. Variations may include fillings like chicken, cheese, or vegetables. Originating in the Netherlands, it is beloved for its convenience and versatility, often served with mustard or tucked into bread as a broodje kroket. Nutritionally, kroketten are rich in protein due to their meat content, but they are also high in fat because of the frying process and the creamy filling. They are calorie-dense and should be consumed in moderation, especially by those monitoring saturated fats and sodium intake. While not inherently nutritious, vegetable-filled versions can offer slightly healthier alternatives.
