These crispy ham and cheese croquettes are a perfect snack or appetizer for any occasion. They are made with a savory mixture of ham, cheddar cheese, and spices, then air-fried to perfection for a crunchy exterior and a gooey, cheesy interior.
Ingredients: 2 cups cooked ham, finely diced. 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese. 1/2 cup breadcrumbs. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 2 eggs, beaten. 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup milk. 1/4 cup finely chopped onion. 1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper. 1/4 cup finely chopped celery. 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. 1/4 teaspoon paprika. Salt and pepper to taste. Cooking spray.
Instructions: Put the cooked ham, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, flour, milk, chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, chopped celery, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix the ingredients together. Mix everything together well. Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties that look like croquettes. Warm up your Air Fryer until it reaches 380F 190C. Use cooking spray on the Air Fryer basket to keep food from sticking. Leave space between the croquettes in the Air Fryer basket so that they cook evenly. Turn the croquettes over once or twice during the 10 to 12 minutes they are cooking in the air fryer until they are golden brown and crispy. Take the croquettes out of the air fryer and let them cool down a bit before you serve them. Enjoy your tasty ham and cheese croquettes that you made yourself!
