6 slices bread

2 eggs

1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

2 Tablespoons cooking oil

Soak bread in water briefly, squeeze out water like you would a sponge and tear into thumbnail size pieces, mix with ground beef. Add remaining ingredients, mix well. Shape into desired size of meatballs. If mixture is too soggy to shape easily, add 1/2 to 1 cup bread crubs or fine cracker crumbs. Blowly simmer meatballs in a small amount of water in a fry pan, gently shaking pan back and forth to cook meatballs evenly. Do not brown.
