Step-by-step cooking method
- Cook the spinach for 5 minutes with water and salt. Drain thoroughly in a colander.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan on a low heat. Add the spinach and flour. Stir until the spinach absorbs the flour.
- 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.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and leave the mixture to cool a little.
- Divide the mixture into portions and shape them into croquettes using your hands.
- Dip the croquettes into the whisked egg and breadcrumbs.
- Spray the croquettes with oil and cook in the fryer until they turn golden. Turn them over halfway through cooking.
