Categories     Spinach

Time 39m

Yield 16 croquettes

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs fresh spinach, trimmed and washed
1 medium onion, chopped
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup grated gruyere cheese
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Set a large pot of water to boil and salt it.
  • When it boils, add the spinach and onion and cook for just about a minute, until the spinach wilts.
  • Drain thoroughly and cool a bit.
  • Squeeze dry. Chop spinach and onion and place in large bowl, along with the eggs, cheese and breadcrumbs.
  • Mix well, then add salt and pepper.
  • Form the spinach mixture into small croquettes, about 1/4 each for a total of 16. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before frying. Let come to room temperature before cooking.
  • Place oil and butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat in batches (so they won't touch each other when they cook), add croquettes to the skillet.
  • Adjust heat so they brown without burning, about 3 - 4 minutes; turn and brown other side, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Continue until all the croquettes are cooked. Serve hot or at room temperature.
  • They can be cooked ahead, cooked and refrigerated and then reheated in a 250F oven until just warmed.

These were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more herbs and spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly but my croquettes didn't turn out as crispy as I expected. They were still tasty, but I would like to try them again and see if I can get them crispier.

These croquettes were a bit more work than I expected, but they were worth it! They were crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. I served them with a side of roasted vegetables and they were a hit.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but these croquettes were surprisingly good! The spinach flavor was subtle and the breading was crispy and flavorful. I would definitely make these again.

These spinach croquettes were a hit at my dinner party! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the texture was crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. I will definitely be making these again.
