Ingredients
- 250 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 60 grams Breadcrumbs
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, milk, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Mix all ingredients together thoroughly until well combined. It's best to use your hands to ensure the mixture is blended evenly.
Step 4
Shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, using approximately one tablespoon of the mixture for each meatball. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned, then transfer them back to the baking sheet.
Step 6
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
Step 7
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the mini meatballs as an appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce, add them to pasta, or enjoy them on their own.
