How to make Hake Croquettes
- Step 1
Wash the hake fillets thoroughly and dry them, removing any bones if present.
- Step 2
Process the hake and place it in a bowl. Add the flour, egg yolks, both types of cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix everything very well.
- Step 3
Using a spoon, take medium-sized portions and, on a floured surface, shape them into cylinders.
- Step 4
In a bowl, beat the egg with the mustard and parsley.
- Step 5
Bread the croquettes first in flour, then in the egg and mustard mixture, and finally in breadcrumbs.
- Step 6
Drizzle a bit of olive oil onto a baking tray and place the croquettes on it. Bake them in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Turn them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
