Egg Croquettes are made with hard cooked eggs, parsley, butter, onion, cheese, and cracker crumbs, along with other ingredients.

Ingredients:

6 hard cooked eggs, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup shredded mild Cheddar or American cheese
salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1 1/2 cups coarse cracker crumbs
2 eggs, slightly beaten

Preparation:

Combine eggs and parsley. Heat butter in a saucepan; sauté onion until tender. Stir in flour; gradually stir in milk and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add cheese, salt, pepper, and mustard. Fold in the eggs and parsley. Chill mixture for about 2 to 3 hours. Form chilled mixture into 12 cylinder croquettes. Roll in cracker crumbs, then in beaten egg, then in cracker crumbs again. Fry in hot oil at 375° for about 2 minutes, or until nicely browned.
