Narration
They are made very easily and accompany beer and ouzo. They go great with sausages and with a green salad they are a complete meal.
We can each make our own cheese mix. We can replace ouzo with wine, the assyrtiko goes very well with them as does the moschofilero.
If you do not like mint you can put nutmeg. In Chalkida I tried the best cheese croquettes “handmade” by Antonia
