How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Wash the spinach well and chop it finely so that it integrates easily into the dough and provides a uniform texture to the final result.
2. In a large bowl, mix the chopped spinach with the grated cheese and an egg, stirring patiently until you obtain a homogeneous and manageable preparation.
3. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the intensity to balance the flavor without overpowering the cheese or fresh spinach.
4. Form small balls or elongated croquettes according to preference, pressing lightly to give them firmness and maintain their shape during batter and frying.
5. Coat them in flour, then in beaten egg and finally in breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating that provides a crispy finish when frying them.
6. Fry in hot oil until evenly golden brown, turning carefully to prevent them from opening or absorbing more oil than necessary.
7. Drain on absorbent paper to remove excess fat and serve hot, taking advantage of its creamy interior and freshly made aroma.
