- 1 package of HappyVore Gourmet Veggie Matches
- 250 grams of grated Comté cheese
- 150 grams of squash
- 250 gr of béchamel sauce

The Step-by-Step Recipe
1/ Peel and dice the squash into small cubes. Cook in boiling salted water for about 10 minutes. The squash should still be slightly firm.
2/ In a mixing bowl, combine the grated Comté cheese, cooked squash, and béchamel sauce. Season with pepper and add a little nutmeg.
3/ Lightly oil your hands and shape the mixture into small balls.
4/ Mix cornstarch with water to form a thin, coating batter. Roll the meatballs in the batter, then in the breadcrumbs, and repeat the process a second time.
5/ Fry the croquettes for 3 to 5 minutes in very hot oil (180°C) and enjoy them right away!
Tips: For 100% vegan croquettes, mix 500 grams of diced squash with 250 grams of vegan béchamel sauce (using oil instead of butter and rice milk instead of cow’s milk).
