Ham croquettes in Air fryer

Enjoy this recipe on how to make Ham croquettes in an air fryer. Croquettes that are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside are a real treat. We show you how you can achieve this with your oil-free deep fryer.

Ingredients

• 1 litre of milk
• 100 g of butter
• 100 g of flour
• 250 g of Serrano ham
• salt
• pepper
• Nutmeg
• egg
• breadcrumbs
.

Steps

1. The first step to make the croquettes is to prepare the béchamel sauce and for this we take a large frying pan and melt the butter.
2. Incorporate the flour and sauté so that the flour cooks.
3. Incorporate the milk little by little to obtain the perfect béchamel sauce.
4. Add the salt, pepper and nutmeg and mix.
5. Pour in the Serrano ham, which has been previously cut into small pieces.
6. Mix well and cook for a few minutes.
7. The dough obtained is placed in a bowl covered with cling film to prevent a crust from forming and left to cool.
8. Once the dough is cold, shape the croquettes and coat them in egg and breadcrumbs.
They can be fried in the deep fryer without oil once ready or stored in the freezer for when they are needed.

Chef’s Recommendations

We recommend that you try several times if they don’t come out perfectly the first time and take into account the reference with your oil-less fryer. They are not all the same, and the times may vary slightly. Although the croquettes are oil-free, if you want them to turn out more golden brown, you can spray them with an oil spray.
