Ingredients

250 g Roasted Jarred Jalapeños

50 ml Vegetable Oil

200 g All-Purpose Flour

1 Tsp Cayenne Pepper

2 Tsp Sea Salt

500 ml Whole Milk

150 g Shredded Cheddar Cheese

100 g Breadcrumbs

2 Large Eggs

Vegetable Oil for frying

Sour Cream, to serve

Method

Drain the roasted jalapeños and pat them dry with paper towels. Chop them finely.

In a saucepan, heat 50 ml of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped jalapeños and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.

Stir in 50 g of flour, cayenne pepper, and 1 tsp of sea salt, cooking for 2 minutes.

Gradually pour in 500 ml of whole milk, whisking constantly until you have a smooth, thick sauce.

Mix in 150 g of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined. Remove from heat.

Transfer the mixture to a square tin and refrigerate for 4 hours to set.

Whisk 2 large eggs in a bowl. Place 150 g of flour and breadcrumbs in two separate bowls. Season the flour with the remaining 1 tsp of sea salt.

Roll the chilled mixture into balls, then dip each ball into the seasoned flour, followed by the whisked eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

Heat a deep layer of vegetable oil in a frying pan. Once hot, fry the croquettes in batches for 5 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.

Serve the croquettes hot with a side of sour cream for dipping.
