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

These croquettes were a bit too oily for me. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

These spinach croquettes were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and soft and cheesy on the inside. I used fresh spinach from my garden, and it really made a difference in the flavor.
