Swiss Cheese Croquettes
Serves: 4 to 6
Ingredients:
- 4 Tbs (60 ml) butter
- 6 Tbs (90 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (250 ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) cream or half-and-half
- 1/2 lb (225 g) Gruyere or good quality Swiss cheese
- 3 egg yolks, beaten
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- Flour for dredging
- 1 egg, beaten with 1 Tbs (15 ml) water
- Bread crumbs for dredging
- Oil for frying
Melt the butter in a sauce pan over moderate heat and stir in the
flour. Cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the milk and cream. Cook,
stirring constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens. Stir in
the cheese until melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the egg
yolks, salt, and pepper. Pour into a well greased 6 x 9 inch (15 x 23
cm) pan and chill for at least 2 hours. Remove from the pan by
dipping it in warm water and cut the custard into squares, or into
shapes using a cookie cutter. Dredge lightly with flour, dip into the
beaten egg, and then coat with bread crumbs. Fry in hot oil until
golden brown on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper
towels and serve immediately.
