- Preparation: 25 min
- Cooking: 25 min
- Makes: 1 serving (413 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Low carb
- Contains: beef, celery, dairy, egg, gluten, poultry
Ingredients
- 300 g Chicken broth
- 50 g Veal, ground, raw
- 5 g Breadcrumbs, dry
- 35 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 20 g Milk, whole
- 0.2 g Nutmeg
- 2 g Parsley, fresh
- 0.5 g Salt
- 0.2 g Black pepper
Method
- Mix the ground veal with the breadcrumbs, half the beaten egg, a little nutmeg, salt and pepper, then roll into very small meatballs.
- Whisk the remaining egg with the milk and a pinch of salt; pour into a small buttered dish and steam over simmering water for about 15 minutes until set like a firm custard. Cool and cut into small cubes (Eierstich).
- Bring the broth to a gentle simmer and slide in the meatballs; poach for 8-10 minutes until cooked through and their juices run clear (74 °C/165 °F).
- Add the egg custard cubes to the soup just before serving so they heat through without breaking up.
- Ladle into a bowl and scatter with the parsley.
