Finely chop onion and garlic, then add to the meat mixture.

Add egg, milk, and bread crumbs to the bowl and combine well.

Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste.

Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted.

Add the meatballs to the skillet in batches, cooking until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

Transfer cooked meatballs to a plate and keep warm.

In the same skillet, add flour and stir to combine with drippings, cooking for 1-2 minutes.

Gradually whisk in beef broth and bring to a simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in cream and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve meatballs with sauce drizzled over them, garnished with parsley.
