Categories     Spinach

Time 39m

Yield 16 croquettes

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs fresh spinach, trimmed and washed
1 medium onion, chopped
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup grated gruyere cheese
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Set a large pot of water to boil and salt it.
  • When it boils, add the spinach and onion and cook for just about a minute, until the spinach wilts.
  • Drain thoroughly and cool a bit.
  • Squeeze dry. Chop spinach and onion and place in large bowl, along with the eggs, cheese and breadcrumbs.
  • Mix well, then add salt and pepper.
  • Form the spinach mixture into small croquettes, about 1/4 each for a total of 16. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before frying. Let come to room temperature before cooking.
  • Place oil and butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat in batches (so they won't touch each other when they cook), add croquettes to the skillet.
  • Adjust heat so they brown without burning, about 3 - 4 minutes; turn and brown other side, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Continue until all the croquettes are cooked. Serve hot or at room temperature.
  • They can be cooked ahead, cooked and refrigerated and then reheated in a 250F oven until just warmed.

These croquettes were a complete disaster. They fell apart when I tried to fry them and they tasted terrible. I threw them all away.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but these croquettes were not it. They were bland and mushy. I won't be making them again.

These croquettes were a good way to use up some leftover spinach. They were easy to make and they tasted pretty good.

I would make these again, but I would make a few changes. I would add more spices and I would bake them instead of frying them.

Overall, I thought these croquettes were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These croquettes were way too oily for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my croquettes didn't turn out crispy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These croquettes were a little bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but these croquettes were surprisingly good. The spinach flavor was very mild and the croquettes were very crispy.

These are a great way to get my kids to eat their spinach. They love the crispy outside and the cheesy inside.

These croquettes were easy to make and very tasty. I used fresh spinach from my garden and they were so flavorful. I served them with a side of roasted potatoes and they were a perfect meal.

I followed the recipe exactly and the croquettes turned out great! They were a little bit time-consuming to make, but they were worth it. I served them with a side of marinara sauce and they were delicious.

These spinach croquettes were a hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The spinach flavor was perfectly balanced with the other ingredients. I will definitely be making these again.
