Add to a large mixing bowl ~ Egg, cream, butter, onion, garlic, bread crumbs, cheese, and spices mix all well.
Ask a question about this stepAdd the veal, beef and pork to your mixture. Do not over mix ~ just mix until combined.
Ask a question about this stepI use a cookie scoop to form meatballs into a 1 inch ball. Once they are all made I dust them with the flour lightly.
Ask a question about this stepI use a nice glass baking dish. I butter it well and then add the meatballs. I add just enough chicken stock to cover the bottom of the pan.
Ask a question about this stepBake at 400 until meatballs are nicely browned. I have a professional oven so it cooks really hot mine takes about 15 min + or - on the time.
Ask a question about this stepOnce meatballs have browned I add my sauce and bake for about 45 minutes.
Ask a question about this stepI use these meatballs for red sauce, a white sauce or a Greek Avgolemono Sauce.

Ask a question about this stepYes....This is a summer project each and every year...lots and lots of work but worth it!
Beautiful and rich...like the white greek sauce idea with your meatballs!
