About Ham croquetta
Ham croquettes, or "croquetas de jamón," are a classic Spanish snack or appetizer that showcases creamy béchamel sauce blended with finely diced ham, encased in a golden, crispy fried coating. Originating from Spain, these bite-sized delights are beloved in Spanish cuisine and often accompany tapas spreads or festive gatherings. The outer layer of breadcrumbs creates a satisfying crunch, while the interior is rich and savory. Though indulgent, croquettes are a source of protein from the ham and occasionally include milk-based béchamel for calcium. However, their deep-fried preparation and high carbohydrate content from the breading make them calorie-dense with limited fiber. When enjoyed in moderation, ham croquettes can be a delightful treat that introduces a taste of Spanish tradition. Perfect for pairing with a fresh salad or balanced meal, they provide a small yet flavorful indulgence.
