I made these for my husband as part of our all appetizer New Year's Eve dinner and we absolutely loved them! The recipe is easy and doesn't take much time at all, and the results are great! We aren't huge fans of peas, so I used a good Chardonnay Dijon mustard as a dip instead. In addition, I added more cheese than the recipe called for, and used some gruyere in addition to cheddar. I highly recommend these for any cocktail party! They would be great on game day, too!

Delicious and easy!!! Big hit...and a basic recipe that you can be creative with. For jlepori...READ the recipe and it specifically states "diced thinly sliced ham"...paying attention to detail is critical!!!

This sounds good BUT there are no directions for how the ham is to be added to the other ingredients. I feel sure you don't add "sliced ham" in the pan with the other ingredients. Is it supposed to be chopped, diced, or ?????

These came out pretty good. The cayenne is prominent, so it might be best to use a bit less if people are sensitive. However, I modified the recipe to make pizza balls and they were even better. I substituted pepperoni and mozarella for the ham and cheddar (and omitted the onion, rolled them into balls instead of sticks and served them with pizza sauce. They were a huge hit with my husband and his friends. Five men consumed more than 80 pizza balls in just under 15 minutes!

i loved this recipe! after making these croquettes i instantly wrote up a recipe card for them. i have to be honest, i didn't make the pea sauce, so i cannot comment on it's flavor. but, the croquettes were amazing! the texture of the fried saltines was fantastic. (&& i'm not a saltine fan i used a half cup of ham && a half cup of chicken, because that's what i had on hand. although this is more of an appetizer, i bulked it up by serving it w/ macaroni && cheese. i look forward to making this recipe again!
