Easy Ham Croquettes Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 cup onion, chopped
• 3 medium green onions, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 (16 ounce) package sliced honey ham, finely chopped
• 1.5 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 3 cups dried breadcrumbs, divided
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 eggs eggs
• 2 cups oil for frying
• 0.13 cup water

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, green onions, and garlic; cook until softened, about 10 minutes.
2. Transfer the onion mixture to a large bowl. Stir in ham, Cheddar cheese, and 1 ½ cups of bread crumbs. In a separate bowl, beat 3 eggs and add to the ham mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Using your hands, form the mixture into golf ball-sized croquettes.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the remaining bread crumbs on a plate. In a large bowl, beat 1 egg and mix with water. Dip each croquette into the egg mixture, then roll in bread crumbs to coat. Carefully place the coated croquettes in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry until golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
