The type of cheese in the recipe is purposely vague. Try it with feta, or with a sharp cheese like kefalotyri or parmesan, or a mild cheese like anthotyro or farmer's cheese.
INGREDIENTS:
3 1/3 pounds of fresh or frozen spinach
1 egg
2 egg whites
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons of butter, softened
1 1/8 cup of fresh bread crumbs
1 onion
3/4 cup of grated cheese
toasted bread crumbs (or crushed zwieback) for coating
1 teaspoon of sea salt
1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil for frying
PREPARATION:
Rinse the spinach and cut into pieces. Add to boiling salted water and cook until wilted. Drain well. When cool enough to handle, take small amounts of spinach in hand and squeeze out all excess liquid
Chop finely.
Soak the bread crumbs in water and squeeze to dry as much as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine spinach, salt, pepper, bread crumbs, egg, and egg yolks. Add butter, cheese, and finally, the onion. Mix well until thoroughly blended.
With a fork, mix the eggs whites with a teaspoon of water.
Shape the mixture into small cylinders. Dip them in the toasted crumbs, then into the egg whites, then into toasted crumbs again. Fry in hot oil until browned, and drain on absorbent paper towels.
Serve hot.

Ham and Potato Croquettes with Taleggio Cheese Sauce
by Ed Baines
from Great Food Bites
Crisp golden crumbed croquettes combine beautifully with a rich Taleggio sauce in this irresistible recipe from Ed Baines
Servings: 2-4
Level of difficulty: Intermediate
Preparation Time: 1 hour
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
For the sauce
50g butter
50g Flour
400ml Milk
250g Taleggio cheese, roughly chopped
sea-salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 lemon, juice only
For the croquettes
4 floury potatoes, such as King Edwards or Maris Piper, peeled
6 thick slices ham, roughly chopped
1/2 Nutmeg, grated
pinch celery salt
bunch Parsley, chopped
100g Parmesan cheese, grated
pinch ground black pepper
50g plain flour
1 egg yolk
For the coating
3 Eggs
100ml Milk
6 tbsp Flour, for dusting
200g Japanese breadcrumbs
vegetable oil, for deep frying
Method
1. For the sauce, cook the butter and flour in a saucepan over a moderate heat for 3-4 minutes, until it takes on a nutty aroma. Add the milk, a little at a time and beat until the mixture is smooth.
2. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chopped cheese and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice; keep the sauce warm.
3. To make the croquettes, cut the potatoes into even-sized chunks and boil until soft. Drain and mash the potatoes, then transfer to a bowl.
4. Stir in the chopped ham, nutmeg, celery salt, parsley, Parmesan, black pepper, flour and egg yolk until thoroughly combined, and divide into 6 even-sized balls. Roll the balls out on a floured surface into long cylinders and cut into pieces 2.5cm long.
5. For the coating, beat together the eggs and milk in a mixing bowl. Dip the croquettes into the flour, then into the egg and milk, and finally into the breadcrumbs. Heat the oil to 160C and deep-fry the croquettes until golden.
6. Meanwhile, reheat the sauce. Serve with a green leafy salad and the cheese sauce poured over the croquettes.
