I followed the recipe exactly but my croquetas didn't turn out right. They were too dry and crumbly.

The croquetas were a bit too greasy for me. I think I'll try baking them instead of frying them next time.

These croquetas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I've never made croquetas before, but these turned out great! I'm definitely going to try making other flavors.

I'm not a huge fan of ham, but these croquetas were still really good. The béchamel sauce is what really makes them special.

These were so good, I ate them all in one sitting! Next time I'll have to make a double batch.

Amazing flavor! I added a little bit of cayenne pepper to the béchamel sauce for a little kick, and it was perfect.

These croquetas were a hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, with the perfect amount of ham flavor. I'll definitely be making them again.
