- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup butter, melted

- Place bread in a small bowl and pour wine and cream over the bread and crumble it as the liquid is absorbed; pulse the beef, ham, almonds and parsley in a food processor; remove to a bowl.
- Add the cheese, salt, pepper and oregano to the meat; beat eggs and pour over all; mix all lightly with 2 forks until thoroughly combined.
- Refrigerate covered for 1/2 hour; form tiny meat balls; heat butter and oil in a skillet and brown meatballs slowly on all sides; cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
