These tasty ham croquettes are made with diced ham, covered in bread crumbs, and baked. I don't know how this recipe came to be, but we know my great-grandmother made them like this. After shaping them, you can put cheese or anything you want into the middle for a filling.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • ½ pound diced ham

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise

  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs, divided

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Mix ham, egg, mayonnaise, and half of the bread crumbs together in a bowl; shape into 6 balls. Spread remaining bread crumbs onto a plate; roll balls in crumbs to coat; arrange in a baking dish.

  3. Bake croquettes in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Cook’s Note

I personally like cream cheese or Cheddar cheese in the filling but you can put whatever you want in the middle.
