Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups diced ham
  • 2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
  • canola oil for frying
  • 2 eggs, or to taste
  • 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour slowly, stirring to create a buttery paste. Add milk and salt; cook and stir until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
  2. Mix ham, mustard, and onion thoroughly into the butter mixture. Chill dough in the refrigerator until safe to handle, 1 to 2 hours.
  3. Shape chilled dough into croquettes about 1/3 cup apiece.
  4. Preheat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Beat eggs in a bowl. Place bread crumbs into a separate bowl. Dip each croquette in the egg; coat in bread crumbs. Repeat with remaining croquettes.
  6. Fry croquettes in the hot oil in batches until browned and crispy, 7 to 8 minutes.
