Introduction
A chef's guide to achieving perfectly crispy cheese croquettes through a double-breading technique. Double coating provides essential structural protection so the molten cheese filling stays sealed and doesn't burst into the hot fryer.
Step 1
Ensure portioned cheese croquette balls are chilled from the freezer so they are firm yet pliable before starting the breading process.
Step 2
Dredge the chilled croquette balls thoroughly in flour to create the initial dry base.
Step 3
Submerge the floured croquettes into beaten egg wash, then lift them out using a strainer and thoroughly drain off excess egg.
Step 4
Drop the croquettes into a bowl with plenty of breadcrumbs and toss gently to form the first crumb coating.
Step 5
Dip the coated croquettes back into the egg wash for a second pass, lifting and draining off any excess egg.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Thoroughly shaking off excess egg wash before tossing in breadcrumbs is critical; excess liquid will cause breadcrumbs to clump and turn soggy.
Always use a generous amount of breadcrumbs in the bowl so the croquettes stay dry and crisp.
Double breading (double pané) is necessary for molten fillings like cheese to prevent them from bursting and collapsing in the deep fryer.
