Cheese Croquettes

3 tablespoons fat
3 tablespoons flour
2/3 cup milk
2 egg yolks
1 cup cubes fresh mild cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Gruyere cheese
paprika
Salt
Egg and crumbs

Make a thick white sauce with the fat, flour and milk. Add the yolks of eggs. Into this sauce stir the grated cheese, and, as soon as it melts, add the cheese cubes. Season with paprika and salt. Pour into a well-greased shallow pan to cool.
When perfectly firm cut in any shape desired - circles, squares or strips - dip in fine crumbs, egg and again in crumbs. Fry in deep fat and drain on brown paper.
