Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove excess water and set aside. 🍳
Prepare the Filling:
In a large bowl, mix the cooked spinach, ricotta cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir well until everything is combined. 🧑🍳
Form the Croquettes:
With your hands, take about 1-2 tbsp of the mixture and roll it into a ball or log shape. Coat each croquette lightly with breadcrumbs. 🍽️
Fry the Croquettes:
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add the croquettes to the hot oil and fry until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. 🍳
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the crispy croquettes hot with a side of marinara sauce for dipping! 🍝
