Directions
- 1Sauté the chopped onion until golden, then add the jamón virutas and cook briefly before setting aside.

- 3Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat, add the flour, and cook for a few minutes to remove the raw flavor.
- 4Gradually pour in the hot milk while stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.

- 6Take portions, shape them, and bread them by passing them through beaten egg and crushed potato chips.
