Instructions
Prepare the Cheese Filling:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and stir in the flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.

Shape the Croquettes:
- Once the mixture has cooled, shape it into small cylinders or balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
Coat the Croquettes:
