Cheese Croquettes

Two kinds of cheese are necessary for these croquettes-fresh, mild cheese cut in small cubes and also grated Parmesan or Gruyère cheese. Make a thick cream sauce composed of three tablespoons each of butter and flour, twothirds of a cup of milk and the yolks of two eggs. Into this sauce stir one-half cup of grated cheese, and, as soon as it melts, stir in one cup of the mild cheese cut in small cubes. Season with paprika and salt. Pour into a shallow pan to cool. When perfectly firm, cut in any shape desired, either circles, squares or strips, dip in crumbs, egg, and then again in crumbs, fry in deep fat and drain on brown paper.
