Ingredients

Servings

  • 2or 3 eggs see notes
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs If you want this recipe to be gluten free, subsitute it with the same amount of oat flour.
  • 1/2 cup oat flour can be substituted by more breadcrumbs, but this gives a special touch, I wouldn't skip it
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tablespoons grated onion
  • olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, oat flour, minced garlic, and grated onion. Mix thoroughly using a fork until well combined.
  2. Add the ground meat to the mixture and gently combine, being careful not to overwork the meat to avoid tough meatballs. Use your hands or a spoon to mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Once the mixture is combined, shape it into golf ball-sized meatballs, minimizing handling to keep them tender.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large, deep non-stick pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for a few minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
  5. Once cooked, transfer the meatballs to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Notes

  • Please note calories provided are only and estimate.
  • I add 2 eggs at first. I mix everything together including the ground beef. If the mixture is not coming together I add the third egg. Eggs vary in size so if you have two small eggs you might need an extra egg to bring everything together. I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you have any questions.
