Step-by-step cooking method

  1. Cook the spinach for 5 minutes with water and salt. Drain thoroughly in a colander.

  3. Gradually add the milk into the saucepan and keep stirring until it forms a green and thick bechamel sauce. Add the blue cheese and stir until the cheese melts.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and leave the mixture to cool a little.
  5. Divide the mixture into portions and shape them into croquettes using your hands.
