Ingredients for the Meatballs
- 1 egg
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) milk
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) 15% cooking cream
- 3 slices of crustless sandwich bread
- 340 g (3/4 lb) ground beef

Ingredients for the Sauce
- 1 fondue Chic! fumée (smoked) by 1001 Fondues, snack size, 125 g (4 oz.)

- 30 ml (2 tbsp.) flour
- 500 ml (2 cups) rich chicken broth
- Chopped chives
Meatballs
- In a bowl, beat the egg, milk, and cream. Add the slices of bread. Let it sit for a few minutes for the bread to absorb the liquid, then mix with your fingers until homogeneous.
- Add the ground meats and onion. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of Cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400 °F). Brush a baking sheet with vegetable oil.
- Shape the mixture into 30 g (1 oz) meatballs and place them on the baking sheet without touching each other. Bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and add the flour. Cook for a few seconds, then gradually add the chicken broth while whisking with a whisk. Bring to a boil.
- Add the cheese fondue and continue cooking, stirring until the cheese is well incorporated and the internal temperature is at least 75 °C (167 °F).
- Add the meatballs and simmer over low heat for a few minutes. Sprinkle with chopped chives.
*For an even more delightful experience, serve with creamy mashed potatoes.
