This is a somewhat old-fashioned dish but still very good and easy to make. I found it in an old cookbook that my mother had many years ago. This dish would be good to serve at a brunch--just keep the croquettes warm in a chafing dish or crock pot. Photo source: gontry.com

Steps:
- 1. For the white sauce: melt butter in a saucepan over low heat; add flour and salt, blend. Add milk all at once. Cook quickly, stirring constantly, till mixture thickens and bubbles. Remove sauce from heat when it bubbles.
- 2. Combine the white sauce and the next five ingredients, plus 1 tsp. salt; mix well. Chill for several hours.
- 3. When thoroughly chilled, form this mixture into croquetttes, using 1/4 cup for each. Mix eggs and 2 Tbsp. water. Roll croquettes in cracker crumbs; dip into egg mixture; roll in crumbs again. Chill for 20 minutes.
- 4. Fry in deep, hot fat (365-degrees) till golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
