1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded

2 large eggs beaten

1/2 cup bread crumbs

Instructions

In skillet over medium heat melt 4 tablespoons butter in 2 tablespons olive oil. When the butter is melted, whisk in 4 Tablespoons flour until well combined and let lightly brown for 1-(2 minutes over medium heat. Add 1½ cups milk whisking constantly.

Spoon the mixture into a non-stick sprayed 8x8 dish and refrigerate at least 2 hours, but overnight is best.

Heat 2” deep olive oil in a large pot over high heat. When the oil is very hot, put several croquetas in at a time and cook about 2 minutes, turning repeatedly. When they are nicely browned, carefully remove the croquettes with a slotted spoon and put on paper towel lined plate to soak up excess oil. Keep the fried croquettas warm in the ove at 150 F until ready to eat. Serve warm.
