About Croquetas de jamon
Croquetas de Jamón are a classic Spanish tapa made primarily with diced serrano ham, creamy béchamel sauce, and breadcrumbs. Originating in Spain, these bite-sized croquettes are lightly fried to achieve a golden, crispy exterior while maintaining a delicate, velvety center. Typically seasoned with nutmeg and black pepper, they showcase the rich flavors of traditional Spanish cuisine. While these croquetas provide energy from carbohydrates and protein from the ham, they are also high in fat due to the frying process and the butter or oil used in the béchamel. Enjoyed in moderation, they can be complemented with a fresh salad or veggies to balance their rich composition. Perfect for sharing, Croquetas de Jamón highlight the indulgent side of Mediterranean dining.
