These croquettes were a little bit bland for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would add some more spices next time.

I made these croquettes last night and they were delicious! I used panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs and they turned out great. The croquettes were nice and crispy and the eggplant was cooked perfectly.
