Cooking Tips

• Make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the sautéed leeks and mushrooms before combining with the other ingredients.
• For a vegetarian version, omit the Parmesan cheese or use a vegetarian alternative.
• To make the croquettes ahead of time, shape them and freeze on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag and fry when ready to serve.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover croquettes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the croquettes on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the croquettes hot as an appetizer or side dish, with a dipping sauce or alongside a main course.
