Instructions

For the Meatballs

  1. Soak the slice of bread in water, then squeeze the water out and crumble it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine this and the remaining meatball ingredients except the stock. Mix well (I used my hands), then form into meatballs.
  3. In a large saucepan, bring the stock to a boil. Lower the heat to medium/low and gently lower in the meatballs.
  4. Simmer about 30 minutes until meatballs are cooked through.

To Make the Egg Lemon Sauce

  1. Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
  2. Remove one cup of broth from the meatball pan. Add this and the cornstarch slurry to the milk. Continue cooking, whisking regularly, until the batter starts to thicken.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat.
  4. Add the beaten eggs and the lemon juice whisking until combined. Place the pan back on the heat and whisk for another minute until thickened. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed
  5. Place 4-5 meatballs in a soup bowl then top with a few ladles of cooking broth. Spoon egg lemon sauce over the meatballs and broth.
  6. Serve warm.
