Cheese Croquettes

Chop the onion and cheese. Set aside.

In a pot place the butter together with the onion and a pinch of salt. Bring to medium heat and, once the butter has melted, add the cheese.

Mix well and add the flour. Mix again, add half of the milk and continue mixing using a hand mixer until there are no lumps.

Add the remaining milk and mix again. Add salt and pepper to taste, add nutmeg and mix again until the sauce is thick.

Pour the sauce into an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap.

Freeze for two hours and shape into balls of the same size using spoons.

Crack the egg into a bowl and beat. In another plate, place the breadcrumbs.

Coat the balls with breadcrumbs, then dip in the egg mixture and coat again with the breadcrumbs.

Heat the oil in a pan and fry the croquettes until browned.
