Cheesy croquettes with tomatoes are a delightful dish of Greek cuisine that combines the creaminess of cheese with the rich flavor of sun-dried tomatoes. Their history is rooted in Mediterranean gastronomy traditions where cheeses and tomatoes have always played a key role. The croquettes have a crispy golden crust thanks to breadcrumbs, while inside lies a tender, juicy filling with a slight tang from the tomatoes.
