Directions

• Place the bread in a small bowl and pour milk over it. Let soak a few minutes, then squeeze out excess milk and tear bread into small pieces.
• In a large bowl, combine ground meat, soaked bread, onion, garlic, egg, parsley, mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika.
• Mix with your hands or a spoon until evenly blended, but don’t overwork.
• With wet hands, shape mixture into 4–6 thick patties.
• Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add patties and cook 5–6 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach at least 160°F/70°C).
• Transfer to a plate and rest 5 minutes before serving.
