Yen Can Cook: Corn Cheesy Croquette

A croquette is a small breadcrumbed fried food which usually shaped into a cylinder, disk, or oval shape containing mashed potatoes and/or ground meat. Sometimes it comes with a filling such as sautéed onions, mushrooms, or boiled eggs (Scotch eggs) and usually being deep fried but I’m going to prepare it with a healthier way of baking it.

Ingredients

2 potatoes

2 cups cornflakes

1 tablespoon butter

Mozzarella cheese, cut into cubes

1/2 cup corn kernels

1 egg

salt and pepper

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Step 1: Prepare mashed potato (refer HERE) and add in corn kernels.

Step 2: Scoop up mashed potato and place 1 cheese cube in the centre then mould mixture around cheese to enclose.

Step 3: Shape into oval and put into fridge for 10 minutes to set the shape.

Step 4: Put cornflakes into ziplock bag then crush with rolling pin or anything available such as glass bottles and etc.

Step 5: Beat the egg, dip the croquette in egg mixture then coat with crushed cornflakes.

Step 6: Pre-heat oven, arrange croquette on lined tray and bake with 200°C for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Happy Cooking!
