These croquettes were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili pepper next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my croquettes turned out soggy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I've made these croquettes several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love the combination of eggplant and cheese. They're also a great way to use up leftover eggplant.

These croquettes were delicious! I used a mixture of panko and bread crumbs and they turned out perfectly crispy. I served them with a side of marinara sauce and they were a hit.
