Cromesquis au Mont d'Or (step by step)

I propose today small gourmet bites, a blend of flowing, melting and crunchy with these delicious cheese cromesquis my area. 
The cromesquis are stuffed croquettes, we find something for everyone. I chose to decline today with Mont d'Or cheese that I particularly like and has the advantage of being very fragrant and run well when hot. 
To be sure of good performance of my kibble I surrounded my pieces of cheese with a thin layer of mashed potatoes. 
once the pellets formed on the pane and are cooked in an oil bath.

for 5-6 persons (15 cromesquis) 
450 g of cooked potatoes 
150-200 g of cheese that melts well (Mont d'Or for me today) 
2 eggs 
flour 
breadcrumbs 
salt, pepper

Cook the potatoes and mash mashed with a fork or potato masher manual. Allow to cool. 
Take a spoon (possibly in Paris) of the cheese balls. 
Place the palm of the hand a little puree, flatten for a not too thickly. Put in the center a piece of cheese and close the mash to form a ball (put some mashed if necessary) 
Roll it gently in his hands for a good round. 
Make all and meatballs and chill for 15 minutes .

Take 3 deep plates and place them in one of the flour in another beaten eggs with a little salt and pepper and the third breadcrumbs.

Roll each ball in flour, then in beaten egg and finally the breadcrumbs. 
So do all the pellets. Hand them cool until cooking oil heater. 
Heat oil (170-180 °) and when it is hot, dip them into pellets. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown. Them out and drain on paper towels. 
Serve immediately.

           

verdict: I loved the cheese flowing when the ball is cut out.The rest of the family enjoyed moderately, finding that one felt too much cheese and not enough potatoes (along the potato was there to secure more holding my balls .... ) Mr. chocolate would have liked a little garlic in cheese. 
What to do with mozzarella, county, raclette, goat cheese ...

It is important to have a well-dried mashed potatoes, it should not stick. 
My balls were the size of large nuts. 
For cooking, depending on the container used, it will not be all cook together. You can cook the meatballs in advance and reheat them in the oven before serving.

  

Serve as a starter or main course with a small green salad.
