Kitchen: Belgian Cuisine
Cost Range: Moderate

Ingredients:

Instructions:

  1. Rinse the mushrooms and cut them into small cubes (brunoise).
  2. Poach the mushrooms in a mixture of mushroom cooking liquid (butter, lemon juice, salt, and pepper). This means cooking the mushrooms in the mixture until they become soft.
  3. Prepare the sauce by combining the milk, mushroom cooking liquid, and roux. Heat the mixture and stir continuously until it thickens.
  4. Add the liaison (cream + egg yolks) to the sauce. This refers to gradually adding the egg yolks to the sauce while continuously stirring to prevent the eggs from curdling. This helps bind the sauce.
  5. Gently fold in the grated cheese and mushrooms into the mixture (appareil). Ensure that the cheese is well melted and the mushrooms are evenly distributed.
  6. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Taste and adjust the seasonings according to your preference.
  7. Pour the mixture onto an oiled tray and let it set in the refrigerator. This will make the mixture firmer and easier to shape.
  8. Divide the mixture into portions and roll them into cylindrical shapes to form the croquettes. This is easiest done by hand.
  9. Coat the croquettes in the English style. This refers to a breading process, where the croquettes are rolled in flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs in that order. 

Tip!
Serve the mushroom croquettes with a refreshing lemon mayonnaise as a dipping sauce. This will complement the flavor of the mushrooms nicely.
