MAKING
1) To lots of boiling water, add the rice and cook quickly for about 10 minutes. Drain and keep aside.
2) In a saucepan, melt the fat over low heat and stir in the flour. Gently cook for about a minute.
3) Stir in the milk very gradually, beating constantly to make a very smooth sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil and season. Gently cook for about 3 minutes.
4) Stir in the cheese and mustard and once the ingredients have blended, take the pan off the heat. Stir in the cooked rice.
5) Into a greased shallow baking tin or place, pour the mixture and allow it to stand till it is quite cold. Mixture must be about 1/2-inch in thickness.
6) Cut the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape each portion into a croquette.
7) Dip each croquette first into the beaten egg and then in the toasted breadcrumbs.
8) Fry in hot oil till the pieces are crisp and golden brown. Drain.
