- Ingredients
- 750 grams Ground meat (mixed)

- 2 Tbsps clarified butter
- 2 day-old White rolls
- 750 milliliters milk

Soak the bread in lukewarm water.
Sautée the bacon in 1 tablespoon of butter, add shallot and let simmer until wilty. Stir in parsley, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly, then mix well with the ground beef, 1 egg, bread (squeezed so only moist and not dripping), salt and pepper and form 12 patties. Place a cherry tomato on each and wrap the patty around it to form a ball, and fry briefly in the remaining butter.
Melt butter in a saucepan, stir in flour, briefly fry, stir in milk with a whisk, add salt and pepper and let simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in 100 grams (approximately 3 1/2 ounces) of grated cheese and 2 eggs.
