Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a medium sized bowl, mix together Lactantia® Lactose Free Milk, lightly beaten eggs and the bread.

Mix until well incorporated.
Form the mixture into 12 meatballs and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until cooked through.
For the mustard cream sauce, heat olive oil in a nonstick pan.
Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
Then, add in the mustard and the chicken stock.
Mix well.
Add in the Lactantia® Lactose Free Milk and Lactose Free 35% Whipping Cream and let cook for another 2 minutes.
Make a slurry by adding 2 tbsp of water to the cornstarch and mixing it well.
Add the slurry to the sauce, while continuing to stir.
Season with the fresh thyme and salt to taste.
Suggest serving alongside mashed potatoes and wilted spinach.
Serve 3 meatballs per person and top with the mustard cream sauce.
