Tuna Mornay Croquettes
These are a little bit addictive. Once you have had one, and another, there is no stopping. Especially if you are dipping in aioli!
Crispy, creamy, flavour-packed croquettes with a zesty essential oil twist, you have been warned.
Croquettes just got a glow-up! These Tuna Mornay Croquettes are crispy on the outside, creamy and comforting on the inside, and feature doTERRA essential oils. A drop of Lemon essential oil lifts the richness of the mornay sauce, while a touch of Black Pepper oil adds subtle heat without the grind. Perfect for lunchboxes, snacks, or as finger food for your next get-together, this recipe is a brilliant way to use pantry staples in a fresh and flavour-forward way.
Make them ahead, freeze them, bake or fry, though why wouldn't you bake, too easy! However you roll, they’re a hit.
