Rice and ham croquettes with parmesan

6 servings

20 minutes

Rice and ham croquettes with parmesan are tender, crispy balls that combine the creamy texture of rice, the rich flavor of ham, and the savory notes of parmesan. This dish originates from European cuisine, where croquettes are often served as an appetizer or side dish. Their golden crust hides a soft filling, and the aroma of cheese combined with ham makes them particularly appetizing. Croquettes are perfect for a cozy dinner or festive table. They can be served with spicy sauces, fresh vegetables, or herbs to enhance flavor and create a harmonious dish.
