Mushroom Croquette
#CroquetaChallenge
On the plate, a gastronomic drama unfolds in multiple acts, with each ingredient playing its role with the precision of a seasoned director. 🎥 Following chef Chema Soler’s recipe and after 12 hours of patient waiting, the mushroom croquettes finally take center stage, ready to conquer the palate with a lavish combination of flavors and textures.
The main protagonist—the mushroom croquette—is tender and creamy on the inside, further enriched with a touch of Greek feta cheese, because mushrooms alone shouldn’t have to endure this gastronomic thriller without a bit of extra character.
To prevent them from being too soft and fragile, the croquettes are then coated in a shield of crispy corn flakes, rebellious poppy seeds, and panko breadcrumbs—a perfect combination for those who crave a crunchy first impression and a lingering gastronomic aftertaste.
Alongside the croquettes, sautéed onions, carrots, and mushrooms take the stage, passionately blending their juices in the pan. As the crown of this gastronomic epic, a touch of the Mediterranean graces the plate. Blanched Swiss chard with garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice brings the perfect contrast of freshness and acidity, balancing the richness of flavors and adding that final refreshing note that makes the dish complete. And for the finishing touch—a sprinkle of fine Parmesan, whose subtle notes add the last layer of character to this plate.
This dish has undergone a long process—chilling, breading, and sautéing—each step adding a new dimension and depth. Like a hero who has endured all challenges, it now proudly stands on the plate, ready to win you over with just one bite.
The fairytale of croquettes continues tomorrow. 😊

I’m superlatively amazed by the quality of your photo, the props, the presentation, the creaminess, the selection of ingredients, and—last but not least—the poetic imprint you bring to everything you touch. I feel like this is your best presentation to date in this community. It’s a pleasure to see how you keep pushing yourself further!
That crisp coating with cornflakes, poppy seeds, and panko sounds like an absolute textural masterpiece. How did you find the balance between the crunch and the delicate filling? 🍽️
Thanks for joining the #CroquetaChallenge—what a spectacular entry! Don’t forget to share your photo on social media and tag us @scoolinary_en . & @chemasoler_chef 🌟PS: I’m positive your spanish sister, the #chickenfluencer, is going to be so proud of her serbian sister. What do you think @beatriztorijagmail-com ?

@undefined Wow, I’m truly honored by your words! Thank you for such a thoughtful and encouraging comment—it means a lot. 😊 I love experimenting with textures, and this time, the combination of cornflakes, poppy seeds, and panko felt just right. The key to balancing the crunch with the creamy filling was, like chef Chema teach us, chilling the mixture well before shaping and frying, ensuring a contrast without overpowering the softness inside. I already posted on Instagram and tagged.
P.S. You are right. This special connection between Beatriz and me also means a lot in the whole process. Our cross-cultural foodie bond is something special! I can already hear her saying, “¡Esooo! My Serbian sister never misses!” 🐔❤️ Sending her a virtual high-five from my kitchen! 🙌🔥

Wow, what a way to tell a recipe! It’s like these croquettes have their own action movie, with ingredients stepping onto the stage and flavors clashing in an epic showdown.
Does the touch of feta cheese just enhance the flavor, or does it also help with the filling’s texture? Sounds like an interesting twist to add more character.
The coating with cornflakes and poppy seeds must give it a really satisfying crunch. Thanks for joining the challenge and sharing this wonderful story—I hope season 2 or 3 of this drama is coming soon! Haha.😅

@undefined Haha, I love the way you put it. Now I can’t help but imagine these croquettes as the stars of their own culinary blockbuster! 🍿🔥 The feta does both—it enhances the flavor with a bit of tang and also makes the filling even creamier. And yes, the cornflakes and poppy seeds add a serious crunch that keeps every bite exciting!
Season 3 is definitely in the works. Who knows, maybe something seafood this time?? 😉 Stay tuned for the next delicious adventure! 🍽️🎬-

@lanamihajlovic Hahaha, this has officially become a high-level culinary saga! I love how every ingredient has its starring role, and now feta is the creamy hero of the story.
If seafood joins the cast in season three, this could turn into an epic crossover… maybe a shrimp alliance with some unexpected spices? I’m ready to see where this delicious plot goes next. Bring on the next episode! 🍤🔥

Enhorabuena, Lana. Esas croquetas son, sencillamente, gloriosas. Cremosas, con un rebozado perfecto, un acompañamiento original y delicioso… ¡un 10!! Y bueno, las fotografías son preciosas e inspiradoras.
Ahora bien… en esta historia cinematográfica que nos narras, ¿estás segura de que la película que protagonizan no es de terror, concretamente ‘El exorcista’? …porque empiezo a pensar que has sido poseída por el auténtico espíritu croquetil 😝

@Beatriz Torija Thank you, Beatriz! I’m glad you like the croquettes, and the pictures are just my attempt to capture the atmosphere. 😊
As for the movie, you might be right – maybe there’s a hidden horror element, but trust me, in this story it’s definitely not just about an exorcism, but a real battle with something much more dangerous – too much flavor and perfect texture! 😄 And as for the croquetil spirit, he greets you and says he’s moving into my home permanently. 😂
