Soak the stale bread in a bit of lukewarm water. Mix in the ground meat, egg and fresh herbs in a bowl. Squeeze the water from the soaked bread and add to the meat. Season with salt and pepper and mix well with hands, adding a bit of bread crumbs if the mixture seems too soft. Shape into small balls and sauté in hot oil until golden brown on all sides.
