And any of the following for flavor, if desired:
1/2 cup sautéed diced onions or sliced mushrooms (optional)
5 scallions, thinly sliced (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme, fresh parsley, fresh marjoram, or fresh chives (optional)
Divide into 8 portions (2 per serving) and shape into small cakes. Dust lightly with:
All-purpose flour
Dip in:
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Then in:
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs or 1/2 cup sesame seeds
Heat in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat:
1 to 2 tablespoons butter, olive oil, or vegetable oil
Add the croquettes and fry, until nicely browned, about 5 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
