The concept of using leftover meats and creating a creamy filling was adopted and adapted with distinctly Spanish flavors.

Croquetas de jamón ibérico are known for their rich, savory, and creamy flavors, with the distinct taste of Iberian ham taking center stage.
The predominant flavor is the salty, nutty, and umami-rich taste of Jamón Ibérico. This is balanced by the creamy béchamel sauce, which provides a smooth, milky counterpoint. The fried breadcrumb coating adds a crispy texture and subtle toasted flavor, complementing the soft interior. Nutmeg and onion provide subtle aromatic notes that enhance the overall taste.

Béchamel Consistency
The béchamel sauce should be thick enough to hold its shape but still creamy and smooth. Achieving this consistency is crucial for a good croqueta. Cook the flour and butter mixture thoroughly before adding the milk to avoid a lumpy sauce.
Jamón Quality
Using high-quality Jamón Ibérico is essential for the best flavor. The fat content and distinctive flavor of the ham contribute significantly to the overall taste of the croqueta.
Cooling Time
Allowing the béchamel mixture to cool completely in the refrigerator is vital for easy shaping and prevents the croquetas from falling apart during frying. It's best to let it cool for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Frying Temperature
Fry the croquetas at a medium-high temperature to ensure they are crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Avoid overcrowding the frying pan, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy croquetas.
