Ham & Cheese Croquettes

Are we sensing a theme?  I’ve made croquettes before, but they fell apart in the pan.  This time I chilled them before cooking and was much more successful.

I first tried to shape the croquettes by hand, and ended up a sticky mess.  Then I tried 2 spoons and that was equally unsuccessful.   I finally pulled out an ice cream scoop, and it worked perfectly!  Pack the mixture in and round the top with your palm, then roll it out.  Dip the scoop in cold water to keep from sticking.

I didn’t measure anything, so the recipe amounts are approximate.
