Pincée de croquettes

Pincho de croquetas is a traditional appetizer or bar snack originating from the Basque Country. These simple pinchos are made with only two ingredients – ham croquettes (croquetas de jamón) and a piece of baguette. Of course, there are variations depending on the bar where it's prepared, so it's not uncommon to see a slice of pepper or tomato, or a bit of mayonnaise on top of the croquette. The croquetas de jamón are typically made with minced Spanish jamón, flour, milk, nutmeg, eggs, breadcrumbs, olive oil, and seasonings. Once prepared, they should be crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The croquetas are simply placed on a piece of baguette, then skewered with a toothpick and served.
