Boil the eggs, peel and set aside to cool off. Mix the minced meat with breadcrumbs, milk, nutmeg, pepper and egg. Preheat the oven to 185°C. Roll the eggs in the minced meat and make big balls. Fry them brown on all sides in hot butter. Place the balls on a baking dish and pour over the juices. Allow baking 30 minutes in the oven and turn on the hot air blower.
