procedure

1. Fry the croquetas at 350-375ºF. Make sure they are hot inside by testing with a cake tester. Heat further in oven if they are not hot inside.

2. Place 3 quarter dots of membrillo puree down the center of the plate. Set one hot Jamon croquette on top of each dot.

critical control points

Do not serve broken/busted/popped croquetas.

  • Make sure the membrillo is thick & creamy, it should not "pool" on the plate.
  • Make sure the croquetas are allowed to temper slowly in the refrigerator prior to frying, this will help you to avoid the hot outside/frozen inside situation.
  • Make sure the croquetas are creamy & hot all the way through.
  • The interior texture of the croquettes should be creamy, IF they are looking more like cheese or "curd-y" the béchamel was over-cooked.
