The magic of croquettes lies in their velvety béchamel filling, packed with the rich, salty flavor of cured Spanish ham (jamón serrano or jamón ibérico). Once chilled, the mixture is shaped, coated in breadcrumbs, and fried to crispy perfection. The contrast between the crunchy exterior and the silky, savory interior is what makes these croquettes so addictive.
How to Enjoy Them
Serve with a side of garlic aioli or spicy bravas sauce.
Pair with a Spanish rioja or a crisp albariño wine.
Enjoy them as part of a tapas spread with olives, manchego cheese, and chorizo.
