Instructions
- Cook the eggs for 10 minutes in boiling water, then peel them under cold running water.
- Soak the bread in a little water and squeeze it out. Finely chop the onion and mix it with the meat, bread, parsley, beaten egg, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- Divide the stuffing into four portions. Flatten each one in your hand, wrap a hard-boiled egg in it and close it up to form a smooth ball.
- Roll the balls in breadcrumbs, then brown them in hot butter for 5 minutes, turning them.
- Sprinkle with flour, then gradually pour in the stock, stirring. Simmer for 20 minutes over low heat, turning the nests once.
- Serve hot with the sauce, accompanied by potatoes.
