Soak the bread with some water and let it rest until it becomes workable.
Squeeze it well so that the mixture is not too wet.
Add the eggs, grated pecorino, and soft cheese cut into cubes.
Work everything by hand or in a mixer.
Add the raw ham in pieces and blend again.
Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
If the mixture is too soft, add more soaked and squeezed bread, or some breadcrumbs.
Divide the mixture into small meatballs.
In a saucepan, pour two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, brown the meatballs and deglaze with red wine.
Cook for about 20 minutes, then add the ready-made sauce. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Serve hot with a glass of red wine and toasted bread.

Toothpicks
