A kroket is a popular Dutch snack made from a mixture of meat, typically beef or chicken, combined with a thick béchamel sauce. This filling is then coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried until golden brown and crispy. Kroketten are often served with mustard for dipping and are enjoyed as a quick snack or part of a meal. Kroketten originated in the Netherlands and are commonly found in Dutch fast-food restaurants and snack bars. They can also be made with various fillings, including vegetarian options, and are a beloved comfort food in Dutch cuisine.
