Egg and Cheese Croquettes

In a large pot, add the eggs and enough water to cover everything. 

Turn on the heat to medium and let them cook for 15 minutes.

In a large skillet over medium to low heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. 

Add the onion chopped into small cubes, the crushed garlic cloves and sauté until golden.

Remove from the heat and set aside.

Once you've done that and the eggs have cooked, remove them all from the pot and transfer them to a medium bowl. 

Add enough cold water to cover everything, add some ice cubes and let them sit in the bowl until they cool down.

Next, peel all the eggs and grind each of them in a grinder.

If you don't have a grinder, you can do this step by grating the eggs using the fine holes on the grater.

Next, transfer everything to a large bowl. 

Now, soak the slices of bread in the milk and add them to the ground eggs. 

Add the sautéed onion and garlic, the tomato paste, the salt, a pinch of black pepper, the grated parmesan cheese and mix everything very well until combined.

Next, take a handful of this mixture and shape it into a croquette. 

Repeat this process with the entire mixture.

Now, bread all these croquettes - first, coat them in wheat flour then dip them in beaten egg and finally, coat them in breadcrumbs.

Transfer all of them to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 

Take it to a preheated oven at 180 ° C (350 ° F) and bake for 40 minutes.

Serve.
