"Plain fresh bread, its crust shatteringly crisp. Sweet cold butter. There is magic in the way they come together in your mouth to make a single perfect bite."--Ruth Reichl

½ c. fresh parsley (finely chopped)
1 pinch nutmeg

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, finely chopped garlic, finely chopped parsley, nutmeg, salt, pepper, eggs and cheese. In a frying pan, break up bread into small pieces, pour the milk over the top until milk is all soaked up (start with ¼ cup then add more milk if needed until bread is all moist.) then warm it up in the pan almost to a simmer. Let the bread cool then add it to the mixture.

With your hands, mix all ingredients thoroughly, and roll into balls. Approximately 1 ½ to 2 “ inch diameter. In a heavy frying pan, coat with olive oil and brown meatballs on all sides. Put browned meatballs into the sauce and let cook for a while.
