Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden, about 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium; add 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste, the celery and shallot and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 4 minutes. Add 6 tablespoons flour, the butter and nutmeg and cook, stirring, until the flour is toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the broth and cook, stirring, until the mixture is the consistency of gravy, about 4 minutes. Slowly stir in the milk and simmer, stirring, until very thick, 6 to 10 more minutes. Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pulse the bread in a food processor to make fine crumbs; transfer to a shallow dish. Put the remaining 1 1/4 cups flour in another shallow dish; beat the eggs in a third dish. Drop tablespoonfuls of the chilled mushroom mixture into the flour and toss to coat, then shape into 1 1/4-inch-long croquettes. Dip in the eggs, then roll in the breadcrumbs and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm, 30 minutes.
- Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a deep saucepan until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360 degrees F. Working in batches, add the croquettes and fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels; season with salt. Serve with mustard.
CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE
This recipe came from my American Heritage cookbook. Juicy and tender breaded chicken with a wonderfully rich and creamy sauce. My father's favorite (and that's saying alot)! Simple to make but doesn't taste like it. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Steps:

- Create a 'log' shape from about 3/4 cup of mixture. Gently drop onto the counter to flatten the bottom to form a traditional 'cone' shape. (about 3" high, 2" in diameter), or form patties for a simpler method.
- Roll croquettes in bread crumbs. (At this point, you can freeze them for up to two months or cover them and place them in the fridge overnight to serve the following day. Just bring them to room temperature when ready to use if frying them).
- Fry in about 1/4" of oil in skillet over medium heat turning occasionally till golden brown on all sides and bottom, about 10-15 minutes. For a healthier version, they can be baked at 350F for about 25-30 min (from the freezer, bake 45-50 minutes). Keep warm in 200 degree oven.
- MAKE THE SAUCE: Meanwhile, In a small saucepan, stir the remaining can of soup with milk, stirring until warmed and creamy.
- Pour over croquettes or serve sauce on the side. Traditionally served atop a mound of mashed potatoes for a wonderful presentation.
Tips:
- To ensure the croquettes stay intact while frying, make sure the chicken mixture is well chilled before shaping and coating.
- For a crispy coating, double-coat the croquettes by dipping them in flour, then egg wash, then breadcrumbs.
- To prevent the sauce from curdling, whisk in the cream slowly and gradually.
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of chicken broth and white wine in the sauce.
- If you don't have fresh mushrooms, you can use dried mushrooms. Just rehydrate them in hot water before using.
- Serve the croquettes immediately with the mushroom sauce for the best results.
