In a saucepan over low heat, add mozzarella. Stir continuously until completely melted.

Separate 3 egg yolks and beat them to combine.

Pour half the egg yolks at a time into the melted mozzarella, along with the ground nutmeg, and stir to combine.

Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper.

Divide the dough into fourths, and roll each piece into a long, thin strip.

Cut dough into 1-inch pieces. Press gently with a fork to make them look like traditional gnocchi.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and drop the gnocchi in. Boil them for about 1 minute or until they all float to the top.

Drain completely.

Heat a large skillet over medium to high heat, and melt a small pat of butter.

Fry gnocchi on both sides until golden brown on each side.
