Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean ground beef
- 250 ml Chicken or beef broth
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 ml Low-fat milk
- 1 large Chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 150 grams Panko bread crumbs
- 1 large Egg
- Cooking spray
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the flour and cook for another 2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually pour in the broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Add the milk and combine well until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
Stir in Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour until fully chilled and firm.
Once chilled, form the beef mixture into small logs, about 8 cm long and 3 cm in diameter.
Beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Place panko bread crumbs in another shallow dish.
Dip each log into the beaten egg, and then coat with panko bread crumbs.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Place the breaded logs on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
Serve the kroketten hot, ideally with a side of mustard for dipping.
