Share:
Ingredients
- 2 c bread cubes
- 1/4 c milk
- 1 lb ground beef 85% lean
- 2 egg
- 1/4 c Parmesan Cheese fresh grated
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 Tbsp parsley dry (or 1/2 bunch fresh chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper ground
Instructions
- Place the bread cubes in a small bowl. Pour the milk over the cubes and let them set for a few minutes, so that the bread absorbs the milk.
- In a large bowl, combine the meat, eggs, cheese, garlic, parsley, salt,pepper, and soaked bread cubes (along with any milk that hasn't absorbed). Mix, using your hands, until everything is evenly distributed.
- Shape the mixture into balls of your desired size. (We like to use a rounded Tablespoon for smaller meatballs or two rounded Tablespoons for larger meatballs.)
- To cook the meatballs, pre-heat your broiler to high. Place the rolled meatballs 1 inch apart on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet. Broil the meatballs for 5-7 min, checking often, until lightly golden.
- Remove the meatballs from the oven and use immediately or let cool and store in the refrigerator until using.*
Notes
- *To freeze the meatballs: Let the meatballs cool after cooking. Freeze them on a baking sheet, in a single layer, until solid. Once solid, they can be transferred to an airtight bag or container to store in the freezer for 2-3 months.
- This recipe from 2013 was updated in September 2017. We made the meatballs even more authentic. Enjoy!
