- After cooking, remove from heat and strain out all solids, pressing them with the bottom of a ladle to extract out all liquids. Stir the stock to facilitate cooling and set aside.
- In a large shallow bowl, cover the bread with the lowfat milk. Allow to sit for 10 min. Squeeze the lowfat milk from the bread by hand, cut the bread into a coarse dice and place in a medium bowl. Add in the prosciutto and 1 c. Parmigiano-Reggiano, egg yolks, parsley, and salt and pepper and roll into balls the size of a quarter.
