Gradually whisk in milk until a thick sauce forms.

Add grated Parmesan cheese, crumbled goat's cheese, nutmeg, chopped prosciutto, and chives to the sauce and mix well.

Cool the mixture in a bowl covered with plastic wrap, then place it in the freezer.

Once cooled, shape the mixture into croquettes.

Set up a crumb station with flour, whisked eggs, and breadcrumbs.

Coat each croquette in flour, dip in eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs.

Fry the croquettes until golden brown and crispy.
