Ingredients | Veg Cheese Croquettes

1 ½ pounds leftover baked ham

4 eggs, divided

3 tablespoons butter

½ cup fresh chopped garlic

¼ cup dried minced onion

3 cups Italian-style bread crumbs

2 cups shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese

½ cup brown sugar

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon water

2 cups extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

Grind ham into a large bowl.

Beat 3 eggs in a small bowl.

Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and dried onion; cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes. Pour mixture into the bowl with the ham; add the beaten eggs, 1 cup bread crumbs, Cheddar cheese, brown sugar, and black pepper. Mix by hand until combined; mold into 15 to 18 medium croquettes, or rectangular balls.

Beat remaining 1 egg in a bowl with 1 tablespoon water. Pour remaining 2 cups bread crumbs into a large nonstick baking pan. Dip each croquette in the egg and roll in bread crumbs.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add croquettes; fry in batches until golden brown, about 10 minutes total. Place finished croquettes on a paper towels to drain excess oil.
