Ingredients

For the croquettes

• 150 g goat cheese (chevre type), crumbled
• 150 g kasseri cheese, grated
• 100 g spicy graviera cheese, grated
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp flour
• Pepper

For coating

• 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
• 100 g breadcrumbs
• 100 g cashews, finely chopped
• Oil for frying
• Honey for serving (optional)

Tips

• When shaping the balls, keep in mind: the smaller they are, the better they will cook.
• A favorite appetizer for every cheese lover! These croquettes are quick and easy to make and disappear from the plate in no time. They pair beautifully with wine and beer.

Method

Step 1
In a bowl, combine the cheeses, egg, flour, and pepper. Mix very well until you form a paste. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up.

Step 2
Shape the cheese mixture into small balls. Mix the breadcrumbs with the chopped cashews. Coat the cheese balls by first dipping them in the egg white, then rolling them in the breadcrumb–cashew mixture.

Step 3
Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the croquettes for about 3–4 minutes, until golden brown on all sides.

Step 4
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Serve immediately, drizzled with a little honey.
