Ingredients for 4 servings:
300gr stale white bread
100gr smoked ham
2 eggs
Milk
Butter
1 small onion

Minced parsley
Chives
Meat broth
Salt

Preparation:
In a medium-mixing pan combine diced bread and diced smoked ham.

Stir well all ingredients. If necessary, add some milk.
With wet hands, prepare 8 balls choosing uniform ingredients.

Pour bread balls in boiling water (better if right a bit lower temperature such as water doesn’t really boil) and cook for 15 minutes.

If bread balls break during cook add some flour to mixture.
For this reason cook one first ball and observe how it cooks.
