Cheese and mustard croquettes recipe in airfryer

Today in BiteMyRecipe We have prepared a recipe for cheese and mustard croquettes in a airfryer as an easy, quick and vegetarian-friendly starter!

Like the famous recipe for cheese and honey croquettes, the combination of cheese and DIjon mustard is also exquisite.

How to make cheese and mustard croquettes in the air fryer is very easy, They don't take more than 10 minutes and they are creamy and crunchy at the same time.

Any chef who tries this No Oil Air Fryer Mustard Cheese Croquettes recipe would save the recipe for a future.

It is an ideal starter or appetizer to share at family dinners as Christmas dinner or simply to accompany a meal.

From just cooking you can get many croquettes that you can then leave in the freezer and ration for days and not eat everything at once.

It is a medium healthy recipe since the croquette is not fried in abundant oil but the batter is still caloric.

For the recipe for cheese and mustard croquettes I have not used any special aifryer accessory, simply the basket where I have placed the croquettes.

I recommend other air fryer croquette recipes like the Aifryer Ham Croquettes Recipe or the Aifryer Sweet Potato Croquettes Recipe.

Tips for a good recipe for cheese and mustard croquettes in a airfryer

• If you want a better texture in the croquettes, add only half of the milk and when everything is integrated (cheese, mustard...) add the rest
• I recommend you stir with metal rods so that there are no lumps of flour
• You do not need to chop the cheese, if you crumble it with your hand it will melt in the pan although I do recommend removing the skin that covers it
• The plastic wrap should touch the croquette dough when you cover it so that a crust does not form
• It should rest for at least a few hours but I leave it overnight
• Add a little Olive oil spray when the cheese and mustard croquettes have cooked for a few minutes for an extra golden touch
