Ingredients

Preparation 20 minutes preparation + 15 minutes cooking

In a saucepan, melt butter without browning.

Add flours, stirring constantly, then milk a little at a time to prevent lumps.

Bring to a boil for a few minutes to make Béchamel sauce.

Remove from the heat, add chopped Fontina cheese and melt. Quickly whisk in 2 whole eggs and 4 yolks.

Season with a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper and nutmeg.

Pour mixture in a bowl and set aside to cool. With a spoon, shape into small croquettes.

Beat two eggs in a bowl, dip croquettes in egg, then dredge in breadcrumbs.

In a pan, heat enough oil to cover croquettes completely (check temperature with a few breadcrumbs).

Fry croquettes until golden brown.

Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
