Overall, I was disappointed with these cheese croquettes. They were bland, oily, and not very crispy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheese croquettes didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked.

I followed the recipe exactly and the croquettes turned out perfect. They were golden brown and crispy on the outside, and the cheese was melted and gooey on the inside. I served them with a side of marinara sauce and they were a hit!
