These crispy croquettes are simple to make, with ingredients you'll likely have on hand. The saltiness of the ham with a slight tangy touch from yellow mustard produces a creamy flavor that is an instant favorite.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups diced ham
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
canola oil for frying
2 eggs, or to taste
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Directions

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour slowly, stirring to create a buttery paste. Add milk and salt; cook and stir until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
Mix ham, mustard, and onion thoroughly into the butter mixture. Chill dough in the refrigerator until safe to handle, 1 to 2 hours.
Shape chilled dough into croquettes about 1/3 cup apiece.
Preheat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Beat eggs in a bowl. Place bread crumbs into a separate bowl. Dip each croquette in the egg; coat in bread crumbs. Repeat with remaining croquettes.
Fry croquettes in the hot oil in batches until browned and crispy, 7 to 8 minutes.
