Why did my matzo balls fall apart?

I used 3 slices matzo, soaked in 1½ cups chicken stock, THOUGHT I squeezed out plenty of stock... 3 eggs, some minced sauteed onion in EVOO, S&P, minced parsley....added about another 3 squares of pulverized matzo to firm it all up.... let it sit in fridge 45 min or so before making balls and adding to slow-simmering chicken stock. Any thoughts?

    I'm thinking you used too much pulverized matzo, maybe add 1 more egg next time.

    Oy Vey!!! You must be feeling verklempt. There are a couple reasons why they fall apart. One is not being chilled first...you covered that ( leave for at LEAST an hour though), another is not enough meal. If you test the balls first and they fall apart, add more matzo meal.

    Hadn't any idea. Asked Sarah Baaker and she says to just add an egg and you can tell by the fee.
