In a small dish, pour milk over the slices of bread and crush them. Incorporate the eggs and mix everything completely. Add the ground meat, salt, pepper, ground cumin, rosemary and thyme to a deep dish and mix well. Incorporate the bread mixture while stirring until everything becomes a homogeneous mixture. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours to allow the spices to incorporate into the mixture.
