Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Add finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in flour and cook for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden.

Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Add diced ham, nutmeg, black pepper, and salt; mix well.

Transfer mixture to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 2 hours.

Once chilled, scoop out portions and shape into small cylinders or balls.

Dip each croquette in beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs.

Heat olive oil in a deep skillet to 350°F.

Fry croquettes in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot, garnished with parsley.
