Meatball and Toppings

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and chopped rosemary. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatball

    Shape the mixture into a large ball, about 8 oz in weight.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatball

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the meatball and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. You can also bake it in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Fried Egg

    In a separate pan, fry the brown egg to your desired doneness.

    Slice the focaccia bread and toast it lightly in the oven or on a skillet.

  6. 6

    On a toasted slice of focaccia, spread a layer of tomato sauce, then place the cooked meatball on top. Add fresh arugula, the fried egg, and drizzle with honey.
